Seit seiner Erstveröffentlichung im Jahr 1978 gilt THE STAND als Stephen Kings bahnbrechendes Meisterwerk der apokalyptischen Fiktion. Mit Millionen verkaufter Exemplare und zwei TV-Adaptionen hat dieser Kultroman Generationen von Schriftstellern beeinflusst.

      The next gripping, atmospheric horror novel from New York Times bestselling author Christopher Golden, set in a deteriorated, half-sunken freighter ship off the coast of Galveston, TX.Charlie Book and Ruby Cahill have history. After their love ended in heartbreak years ago, they never expected to see each other again. Now, as part of his work for the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Book lives aboard the Christabel, a 19th century freighter half-sunken off the shore of Galveston. Over many years, a massive forest of mangrove trees has grown up through the deck of the ship, creating a startlingly beautiful enigma Book calls the Floating Forest. As a powerful storm churns through the Gulf, he intends to sleep on board as usual. But when he arrives at the dock, he’s stunned to find Ruby there waiting for him. And she’s not alone. With her are a mysterious woman and her infant child, asking Book to hide them safely aboard the Christabel while they're on the run. Only it isn’t the police who are after them, it’s a coven of witches the woman, Mae, has fled, stealing away the helpless infant for whom the coven had hideous plans…or so Mae claims. It’s lunacy and Book wants nothing to do with it. But after the way he and Ruby ended things, and the unspoken pain between them, he can’t refuse. Yet even as he brings them out to the ruined ship and its floating forest, there are shadowed figures looming back in Galveston, waiting out the storm. And despite the worsening wind and rain, the night birds are flying, scouring the coastline for their prey.

      Umgeben von kahlen Bäumen in einer schneebedeckten Wildnis erstreckt sich die Kolyma in Sibirien, eine 1.200 Meilen lange Straße aus geschottertem Permafrost. Autofahrer kämpfen mit extremen Bedingungen wie vereisten Oberflächen und Temperaturen von bis zu sechzig Grad unter null, während tödliche Unfälle häufig sind. Diese als „Straße der Knochen“ bekannte Strecke ist zudem ein riesiger Friedhof für Gulag-Häftlinge der ehemaligen Sowjetunion, deren Leichen unter dem Permafrost verborgen sind. Dokumentarfilmer Felix „Teig“ Teigland plant eine Serie über Leben und Tod auf dieser Straße und reist in die Stadt Akhust, den „kältesten Ort der Welt“, um Geistergeschichten und lokale Legenden zu sammeln. Doch bei seiner Ankunft findet er die Stadt verlassen, bis auf ein katatonisches neunjähriges Mädchen, und ein Rudel räuberischer Wölfe, die unheimlich intelligent erscheinen. Verfolgt von diesen Bestien sieht sich Teigs Team unheimlichen und unerklärlichen Phänomenen gegenüber, als ob die Geister von Stalins Opfern sie heimsuchen. Diese erschütternde Reise bringt Teig an seine Grenzen und zwingt ihn, sich den Sünden seiner Vergangenheit zu stellen.
