In this spectacular New York Times bestseller that “barrels along like a freight train” (Publishers Weekly), Stephen King and Owen King craft an unsettling vision of a world divided.
What happens when women vanish from the world of men? In a future so close it could be tomorrow, women who fall asleep become cocooned in a mysterious gauze. Disturb it, and they awaken as something feral, violent, untamed. But in their slumber, they’ve found something unexpected: a place of peace, harmony, and possibility. Only one woman remains immune—the enigmatic Eve Black. Is she humanity’s salvation, or something far darker?
Left behind, the men of a small Appalachian town—anchored by a women’s prison—fracture into warring factions. Some want to protect Eve. Others want her destroyed. All descend into chaos as primal instincts overtake reason. This father-son collaboration weaves together horror, science fiction, and razor-sharp social commentary into a story that feels startlingly relevant.
The Kings have created something both wildly imaginative and deeply human—a tale that asks uncomfortable questions about gender, power, and what we become when the structures of civilization fall away. With its propulsive pacing and richly drawn characters, Sleeping Beauties will keep you turning pages late into the night (just maybe keep the lights on).
Perfect for fans of apocalyptic fiction, supernatural thrillers, and stories that linger long after the final page.
This is an intimate epic, a battle of the sexes that's also a tender portrait of marriage and the powerful bonds between parents and children. A novel that wrestles with the questions of how men and women perceive one another and why we're quick to go for one another's throats when we're scared.

A provocative and entertaining battle of the sexes...Sleeping Beauties offers a high-octane, thought-provoking, gender-flipped twist on the classic Lord of the Flies.

A deep dive into what divides the sexes...a gripping, provocative thriller.
Impossible to put down...Stephen King and Owen King's collaboration is a readable, engaging page-turner.
