Eine Anthologie mit 34 brandneuen Kurzgeschichten basierend auf Stephen Kings Meisterwerk, dem Nr. 1 New-York-Times-Bestseller THE STAND ! 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.

She's an assistant at Triumph Comics, which doesn't have the creative zeal of Marvel nor the buttoned-up efficiency of DC, but it doesn't matter. Carmen is tantalizingly close to fulfilling her dream of writing a superhero book. That dream is nearly a reality when one of the Triumph writers enlists her help to create a new character, which they call 'The Lethal Lynx,' Triumph's first female hero. But her colleague is acting strangely and asking to keep her involvement a secret. And then he's found dead, with all of their scripts turned into the publisher without her name. Carmen is desperate to piece together what happened to him, to hang on to her piece of the Lynx, which turns out to be a runaway hit. But that's complicated by a surprise visitor from her home in Miami, a tenacious cop who is piecing everything together too quickly for Carmen, and the tangled web of secrets and resentments among the passionate eccentrics who write comics for a living."
