Sleeping Beauties

by Stephen King, Owen King
Sleeping Beauties - Thryft
Sleeping Beauties - Thryft

Women fall asleep to become violent cocooned ferals.

Sleeping Beauties is a unique dystopian fiction that explores the apocalyptic consequences of a world without women. Written by Stephen and Owen King, the novel blends elements of horror, thriller and drama to showcase the desperation of a society that is rapidly tearing itself apart. Through the eyes of the female characters who seem immune to the mysterious virus affecting the rest of their sex, the story challenges our notions of gender and power and forces the reader to ponder what would happen if women were to disappear from the world. A must-read for fans of dystopian and horror fiction.
