Sleeping Beauties, Vol. 2 (Graphic Novel)

<b>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.</b><br><br>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 <i>want</i> to wake.<br><br>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.<br><br>Collects <i>Sleeping Beauties</i> issues #6-10, by writer Rio Youers (<i>The Forgotten Girl</i>) and artist Alison Sampson (<i>Winnebago Graveyard</i>), from the novel by Stephen King (<i>The Institute</i>, <i>The Stand</i>) and Owen King (<i>Intro to Alien Invasion</i>).
