Hodder
& Stoughton are thrilled to announce that they will publish Sleeping
Beauties by Stephen King
and Owen King on 26th September 2017.
The novel is the first collaboration
between the father and son. The deal for British
Commonwealth and audio
rights was made by Jamie Hodder‐Williams
and
Chuck Verrill, of Darhansoff
& Verrill, representing Stephen King, and Jenny
Meyer of the Jenny Meyer
Literary Agency on behalf of The Williams Company,
representing Owen King.
Translation rights are handled by Jenny Meyer and,
representing Stephen King, Chris
Lotts of The Lotts Agency.
A simultaneous audio edition
will be published by Hodder Audio.
The novel, which asks the
question ‘What would happen if all the
women
abandoned
the world?’ is a wonderfully provocative story of supernatural
suspense. Editor Philippa
Pride says: ‘We are thrilled that
these two hugely
talented
writers – father and son – have come together to write such an
exciting,
powerful and original novel, rich with beautiful imagery and arresting
characters.
It is a wonderful achievement and publication will be a major event.’
Publication date: 26
September 2017
