About This Book

A co-authored novel by Stephen King and Owen King. A strange epidemic strikes the world: when women fall asleep, they become encased in a cocoon-like gauze. If the gauze is disturbed, they wake as savage killers. As the women sleep, the men of a small Appalachian town must confront what it means to live—and what they have done—without women. Meanwhile, the sleeping women exist in an alternate world of their own.
