Who can save us now?

Роман, написанный Стивеном Кингом в тандеме с его сыном Оуэном. Роман, в котором отец и сын поднимают интересный и очень провокационный вопрос: каким станет наш мир без женщин? Тихий уклад жизни маленького городка в Аппалачах нарушается необъяснимым явлением: женщины одна за другой впадают в странный сон, покрываясь тончайшими коконами. Тот, кто пытается их разорвать, пробуждает спящих -- и сталкивается с нечеловеческой яростью и жестокостью ... И именно в это время в городе появляется таинственная и невероятно красивая женщина, невосприимчивая к вирусу. Кто же она? Ангел, посланный спасти человечество? Или демон, которого следует уничтожить? Решить это и спасти мир от неизбежного хаоса предстоит мужчинам, и теперь они будут играть по собственным правилам ...

Tatsächlich wurde ihr Bewusstsein in eine utopische Traumwelt transportiert, wo sie eine eigene Gesellschaft nach ihren Vorstellungen errichten können. Eine Traumwelt, die sie vielleicht nicht mehr verlassen wollen. In Dooling, West Virginia, kämpft der Gefängnispsychiater Clint Norcross derweil darum, die Frau namens Eve Black vor immer verzweifelteren Männern zu beschützen. Eve, die einzige Frau, die noch aufwachen kann, hat jedoch ihre eigenen Pläne: einen Test, der weltumspannende Konsequenzen haben könnte.

Sleeping Beauties (Comics Sleeping Beauties, Tome 1)

The official graphic novel adaptation of the horror novel by Stephen King and Owen King concludes in this haunting interpretation of the chilling, timely bestseller. The mysterious plague known as Aurora has blanketed the world, and, to the men, all but a handful of sleep-deprived women seem trapped—cocooned—in seemingly endless slumber. In reality, their minds have been transported to a strange, utopic dream world. It's a world where small-town sheriff Lila Norcross and the other women can build their own society. And from which they might not want to wake. In the real world of Dooling, West Virginia, Lila's husband, beleaguered prison psychiatrist Clint Norcross, is struggling. He's trying to protect the woman called Eve Black from the ill-thought-out actions of increasingly desperate men. But Eve, as the only woman capable of waking up, has her own plans: a test with global consequences. A test Clint will have to pass if he ever hopes to see his wife again. Collects Sleeping Beauties issues #6-10, by writer Rio Youers (The Forgotten Girl) and artist Alison Sampson (Winnebago Graveyard), from the novel by Stephen King (The Institute, The Stand) and Owen King (Intro to Alien Invasion).
