A TV adaptation of Stephen and Owen King’s “Sleeping Beauties” is in development at AMC, an individual with knowledge of the project tells TheWrap.
Here’s the description for the 2017 novel:
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 wanting to kill Eve, some to save her.

The Dark Tower movie may not have turned out as good as fans hoped it would be. But there's one good thing that may come from it. All the Dark Tower hype and the upcoming TV series may have inspired Stephen King to write another novel set in that fantastical world.
The last novel in the series that King wrote that most people are aware of is called The Dark Tower VII: The Dark Tower and it was released back in 2004. He surprised fans in 2012 with another limited-edition book called The Dark Tower: The Wind Through the Keyhole. Now, all these years later we may be getting a new story and I couldn't be more excited!
King revealed the news himself at a recent book-signing for his new novel Sleeping Beauties that he co-wrote with his son Owen. When asked if he would give us at least one more Dark Tower story,...

All the Dirty Parts
by Daniel Handler
Now available
The author of Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events ditches the pen name for a coming-of-age tale about a teenage boy discovering his sexuality. Handler delivers on the title with a blunt, honest -- and very explicit -- take on a topic that’s somehow fallen out of modern storytelling.
