This graphic novel adaptation based on the horror novel by Stephen King and Owen King provides a visually stunning interpretation of the bestselling book.

A bizarre sleeping sickness, known as Aurora, has fallen over the world, and strangest of all, it only affects women. 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 behind her. More mysterious: she’s the only woman not falling asleep.

“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
