Featuring a conversation with the authors!

In this spectacular father/son collaboration, Stephen King and Owen King tell the highest of high-stakes stories: What might happen if women disappeared from the world of men?

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?

Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women's prison, Sleeping Beauties is a wildly provocative, gloriously absorbing father/son collaboration between Stephen King and Owen King.

Featured Article: Stephen King’s 20 Best Audiobooks—The Definitive List


Stephen King is one of the most prolific American authors of all time. He has published 61 novels, more than 200 short stories, and six nonfiction books—and he shows no sign of stopping. His most recent novel, The Institute, was published in September of 2019, and we’ve already pre-ordered his novella anthology If It Bleeds, which is set to be released in 2020. With such a large portfolio, choosing one listen to start with can be daunting.

Hardly a suspenseful moment i. the entire story. I kept waiting for something to jump in but nothing. Too many characters to rezlly develop most of them. I enjoy the company of Stephen King's writtings as I take very long walks everyday. This one failed to keep my total attention.

Not a typical King novel.

I have several favorite authors, but Stephen King books are the ones that opened the world of reading for me and I'm one of the original Constant Readers. As a result I read every Stephen, Tabitha, Owen King & Joe Hill item published. I enjoy them all and will continue to buy their books. This one was an interesting story, but way, way, WAY, too over the top with political stereotypes. In my opinion it detracted a bit from the overall story.

Political overtones were too much

A bit drawn out, with social commentary pepperd through. No closure on the story world.

Not the King's best.

I never felt like I was pulled into the story. didn't relate to the characters.

never really bonded with characters or the story

I'm normally a huge SK fan, but I think the approach with co-authoring this really dragged it out longer than it needed to be. The plot itself was interesting, but I could feel the webs of sleep attacking me several times!

Long and boring at times

I like most of Kings books and I was disappointed with this story. I really wanted to love this but it jumped around a lot and was a little hard to follow in places. I am not writing him off if there are any future works will defiantly give them a listen but this one was not that great. May be its just me but I listened to it twice and still was not Impressed. this is a 3 on a 10 scale.

Did not do it for me.

3 stars because it is well written. I'm a fanatic for Stephen King, but perhaps I expected too much from this story. I felt empty at the end, not being told of the cause for the **bleep bleep**. Did I miss it?

The voice actress did a grand job at distinguishing the characters.

Lacking "oomph" in my opinion

I won’t give any spoilers but as a huge Stephen King fan I was really disappointed by the ending...

Anti climatic

Struggled to finish. as a constant reader I have rarely said this: the book should be half as long. plot became contrived and predictable.

meh.

I usually avoid co-authored fiction, or rather under-authored, where a well-known writer adsorbs a new writer. I love Stephen King's works and could not avoid this one, but maybe should have. It's not about the major themes. It's about a wandering focus, worn-out tropes, and stereotypes. There are too many characters, and too few actualized characters. The reader, or producer, affect proposedly regional accents loudly and often with inflections you might find in a cartoon.When Ireland tamps down on the volume, it is a pleasure to follow her voice. She is an accomplished actor but a native Californian. The dialects of the story's setting are much more subtle than done here. It's said this book has been optioned for a TV series. I hope not.

Tedious, over-produced, and not a great addition
