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, the y go to another place, a better place, where harmony prevails and conflict is rare. On 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 increasing primal urges, the men divide into warring factions, some wanting to kill Eve, some wanting 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. 20171012. Demonology Fiction. Women Fiction. Violence Fiction. Men Fiction.
