Stephen King is obviously best known for his work within the horror genre, but the popular author has actually written several novels and short stories that dont adhere to this style at all, switching things up completely. One of these books is The Stand, a post-apocalyptic adventure that follows a group of survivors that have banded together into factions after a weaponized influenza destroyed the rest of human civilization. Its one of Kings best non-horror stories, though it does include some scary scenes to keep tensions high.
