"The original cut edition of THE STAND seems to have gotten rid of all the omniscient sections. Whole chapters have been omitted, but more than that is the POV of lesser characters, like Vic Palfrey and his family, have gone missing as well. Interesting stuff, and I'm sure it was a pain in the ass to pick and choose what stayed and what was excised. King eventually cut 150,000 words from the manuscript, a whole novel." — Mar 08, 2026 10:10PM
