An eleven-year-old boy's violated corpse is discovered in a town park. Eyewitnesses and fingerprints point unmistakably to one of Flint City's most popular citizensTerry Maitland, Little League coach, English teacher, husband, and father of two girls. Detective Ralph Anderson, whose son Maitland once coached, orders a quick and very public arrest. Maitland has an alibi, but Anderson and the district attorney soon have DNA evidence to go with the fingerprints and witnesses. Their case seems ironclad. As the investigation expands and horrifying details begin to emerge, King's story kicks into high gear, generating strong tension and almost unbearable suspense. Terry Maitland seems like a nice guy, but is he wearing another face? When the answer comes, it will shock you as only Stephen King can.

In this spectacular New York Times bestselling father/son collaboration that ';barrels along like a freight train' (Publishers Weekly), 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, a better place, where harmony prevails and conflict is rare. One woman, the mysterious ';Eve Black,' is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease. Is Eve a medical anomaly to be studied? Or is she a demon who must be slain? Abandoned, left to their increasingly primal urges, the men divide into warring factions, some wanted to kill Eve, some to save her. Others exploit the chaos to wreak their own vengeance on new enemies. All turn to violence in a suddenly all-male world. Set in a small Appalachian town whose primary employer is a woman's prison, Sleeping Beauties is a wildly provocative, gloriously dramatic father-son collaboration that feels particularly urgent and relevant today.

A comienzos de 2004, dos escritores y fanaticos de los Medias Rojas, Stewart O'Nan y Stephen King, decidieron hacer una cronica personal de la nueva temporada, una de las mas fervientemente esperadas en la historia del beisbol. Durante los meses que siguieron compartieron asientos en el Fenway, intercambiaron emails y escribieron acerca de los juegos; terminaron siendo testigos de uno de los mas notables retornos deportivos, el primer campeonato ganado por los Medias Rojas en ochenta y siete anos. Lo que comenzo para dos fanaticos como un verano mas, lleno de expectativas, es ahora un verdadero testimonio historico.
