«Stephen e Owen King hanno scritto una bella storia horror, epica, toccante e molto giusta per i tempi, con un finale esplosivo ed emozionante.» - USA TODAY

Da parceria de Stephen King com seu filho, Owen, surge uma história provocativa, dramática e corajosa sobre um mundo sem mulheres. Pelo mundo todo, algo de estranho começa a acontecer quando as mulheres adormecem: elas são imediatamente envoltas em casulos. Se despertadas, tornam-se bestiais, reagindo com fúria cega antes de voltar a dormir. Em poucos dias, quase cem por cento da população mundial feminina pegou no sono. Sozinhos e desesperados, os homens se dividem entre aqueles que fariam de tudo para proteger as mulheres adormecidas e aqueles que querem aproveitar a crise para instaurar o caos. Grupos intitulados "Brigadas do Maçarico" incendeiam casulos, e guerras parecem prestes a eclodir em diversas partes do mundo. Mas na pequena cidade de Dooling as autoridades locais precisam lidar com o único caso de imunidade à doença do sono: Evie Black, uma mulher misteriosa com poderes inexplicáveis. "A primeira parceria épica entre Stephen King e seu filho Owen é ambiciosa, comovente e, da ótica de seus horrores centrais, muito atual." — USA Today

In this father-son collaboration, the authors tell the story of what might happen if women disappeared from the world of men. Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a women''s prison, 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. 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?

In this wildly entertaining collaboration, novelists Owen King and Mark Jude Poirier team up with illustrator Nancy Ahn to present a wickedly funny graphic novel about an alien invasion on a college campus. Stacey, a brilliant, overachieving astrobiology major at Fenton College, had planned on just another lonely Spring Break on campus. But when a hurricane batters the small college town, downing power lines and knocking out cell phone reception, Stacey and her friends are stranded with no way to communicate with the outside world at the worst possible moment: in the midst of an alien invasion. As space insects begin to burrow into students and staff—transforming them into slobbering, babbling monsters—a conglomeration of misfits must band together to prevent the infestation from spreading. Meanwhile, Stacey’s long-stifled romantic feelings for her friend Charlotte begin to surface, while the professor she had admired and respected becomes the students’ worst enemy. Illustrated with enormous wit and dynamism—mixing classic tropes from science fiction, indie comics, B-movies, and campus culture—this graphic novel is something different, a large-scale action/adventure story as seen from the point-of-view of a contemporary, realistic heroine. The result is a funny and singular work unlike anything else you’ve ever read.

A young man comes to terms with his life in the process and aftermath of making his first film, in particular with his relationships with family, friends, lovers, and adversaries.

In the tropical countryside on the small Caribbean island of Albany sits the vast Trinity estate ¿ home of the Johnson family for 200 years. Lionel Johnson and his sister Kate currently manage the estate and their role has been passed down through the family from generation to generation. Each year creates new challenges and over the years Trinity has changed immeasurably from a home into a small village and, after Lionel¿s death, there are plans for a town. The Johnsons pull together, balancing time, trips abroad and other careers and interests to keep Trinity afloat. This is a novel about pride in tradition and the importance of family, as much as it is about the relentless passing of time.
