Comatose Man's Cross-Country Trip Uncovers Shocking Secrets

In an upcoming horror novel set to publish in 2026, former gamer Julia Flang is offered a mysterious new job by her estranged mother, the CFO of a major tech company. Instead of a typical office position, Julia learns her role is to watch over a middle-aged man in a vegetative state who has been implanted with proprietary AI.

Julia must accompany the man, who has no memory of his identity, on a cross-country trip from the West to East Coast. Along the way, the man is plagued by a worsening nightmare that offers clues to his true identity and the person he's searching for. As the journey unfolds, Julia and the man become entangled in an unlikely and terrifying adventure.

The novel, titled "Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep," is described as a "genre-bending, near-future tech nightmare" and is expected to appeal to fans of the Coen Brothers and Philip K. Dick. The book is the latest work from acclaimed author Paul Tremblay, known for his acclaimed novels including "Horror Movie" and "The Cabin at the End of the World."
