Epic, brilliant, and terrifying.
A pseudo-pandemic begins infecting a small number of people, causing them to “sleepwalk” for an unknown reason to an unknown destination. While the CDC (and family and friends of the sleepwalkers) follow the flock, the pandemic changes scope and they realize the stakes are much higher than anticipated.
God I loved this. For anyone intimidated by the length of the novel, don’t be—I blazed through this. If you’re into climate horror, conspiracy, and epics ala The Stand, this is the book for you. Like King’s masterpiece, the individual stories add a deeply personal touch to a sweeping, epic story about good vs. evil, a dying world, and the hope of that world to be reborn. I haven’t fallen in love with a book like this in a long time and I’m so happy I finally picked it up off my TBR.
