Sleeping Beauties is an impressive collaboration between blockbuster novelist, Stephen King, and his son, Owen King. It’s a sci-fi/horror blend, telling the story of a pandemic that sweeps across the globe, a sleeping disease that only infects women, and leaves them unconscious and wrapped in cocoons. What follows is a horrifying world of men without women, a world falling apart. And things only get worse when some of the women get forcibly woken – coming back from their sleep as terrifying and powerful creatures. Sleeping Beauties is definitely a weird novel, but the father-son writing duo have created a true epic, one reminiscent of other Stephen King classics – like The Stand, with its own world under threat from a pandemic, or Under the Dome, with another high-pressure situation revealing the worst of people. Let’s hope we see another collaboration from the Kings again soon.
