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
