SLEEPING BEAUTIES Hardcover

Sleeping Beauties" by Stephen King and Owen King is a gripping and thought-provoking speculative thriller that imagines a world where women fall prey to a mysterious sleeping sickness. When women worldwide succumb to a fibrous cocoon that encases them in a dreamlike state, men are left to their own devices, and chaos quickly descends. However, one enigmatic woman, Eve Black, appears to be immune to the affliction, sparking a dangerous debate: is she the key to salvation or a demonic anomaly? Set primarily in a women's prison in Dooling, West Virginia, the novel delves into gender dynamics, societal collapse, and the dark underbelly of human nature when the balance between the sexes is catastrophically disrupted.
