Details of the content and images can be found in the portfolio (front page) section of this site).

The book is due out in mid-March 2021, so I’d expect to ship copies within two weeks of publication. I’ve reduced the price for pre-ordered copies in 2020 to a little below retail price because we do deserve nice things.

An option is available in the shop for a bookplate version of this book, with an original art bookplate- the only opportunity to buy original art for this project by the series artist.

About Sleeping Beauties, Vol. 1 (Graphic Novel):

This official graphic novel adaptation of the horror novel by Stephen King and Owen King is a haunting interpretation of the chilling, timely bestseller.

A bizarre sleeping sickness, called Aurora, has fallen over the world. Its victims can’t wake up. And all of them are women. As nations fall into chaos, those women still awake take desperate measures to stay that way, and men everywhere begin to give in to their darkest impulses.

Meanwhile, in the small town of Dooling, a mysterious woman has walked out of the woods; she calls herself Eve and leaves a trail of carnage in her wake. Strangest of all, she’s the only woman who can wake up.

Praise

“The narration is crisp, the dialogue moves, and the silences are effective.” —Rogues Portal

“Sampson’s art is fluid and pretty, even in the more disturbing panels, and the vibrant colors from Farrell are an interesting juxtaposition for the heavy and frightening events playing out on each page.” —Comics Beat
