For the
official list of Stephen King’s novels, go to http://stephenking.com/library/novel/.
And in five days, fans can pick up his
latest book, written with his son Owen, Sleeping
Beauties.
King’s
website gives a short description: “In a
future so real and near it might be now, something happens when women go to
sleep; they become shrouded in a cocoon-like gauze. If they are awakened, if
the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become
feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another
place. The men of our world are
abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the
mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is
Evie a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain?” (http://stephenking.com/p/sleeping-beauties/)
