From Josh Malerman, bestselling author of The Cage, a suspense-filled novel that skillfully blends the tale of Sleeping Beauty and the Wild West: Carol Unburied

Carol Evers had a dark secret. Sometimes she would fall into a coma, and when she did, she was as good as dead. Her pulse and heart would stop, she would never lose consciousness, even though she could barely breathe. But even the doctors thought she was dead.

When Carol falls into a coma, her husband, one of the two people who know the secret and who wants to get rid of her and inherit her fortune, puts his plan to bury her alive into the grave into action. As the comatose Carol hears and senses everything that happens around her, funeral preparations begin in the town of Harrows.

When the other person who knows the secret, Carol's ex-lover and notorious outlaw James Moxie, receives the news, he sets out to reach the Harrows before Carol is buried. As they travel the Road, filled with danger and mystery, they must deal with old enemies, eerie beings and a hired killer on their trail.
