Sleeping Beauties: Stephen King and Owen King

"Sleeping Beauties" is a novel written by Stephen King and his son, Owen King. It was published in 2017 and is available in hardback format. The story takes place in a dystopian future where women fall into a deep sleep and are enveloped in a cocoon-like gauze. If the gauze is disturbed or violated while they sleep, the women become feral and violent. Men are left to their increasingly primal devices as the women are abandoned. However, one woman named Evie is immune to this sleeping disease and becomes the center of attention in a world where women are no longer present. The book explores themes of gender roles, power dynamics, and the consequences of extreme actions taken by desperate individuals.
