Description
Sleeping Beauties. In the small town of Dooling, a strange phenomenon begins to spread across the world: whenever women fall asleep, they become encased in a mysterious cocoon-like shroud. If disturbed while sleeping, they awaken violently and dangerously. As society struggles to understand the crisis, women disappear into a peaceful alternate realm while the waking world descends into chaos.
At the center of the mystery is Evie Black, a mysterious woman who appears immune to the sleeping sickness and may hold the key to its origin. As fear, suspicion, and violence erupt among the remaining men, the people of Dooling are forced to confront their darkest impulses and deepest divisions.
Co-written by Stephen King and Owen King, Sleeping Beauties is a compelling blend of supernatural fiction, suspense, and social commentary. Exploring themes of gender, power, violence, and human nature, the novel asks what happens when half the world’s population suddenly vanishes—and whether humanity deserves a second chance.
An epic, thought-provoking thriller examining humanity, power, and survival.
