The sky has been held aloft for three thousand years. This morning, Atlas let go.
Now the world's unraveling-and the only man who might stop it is a burned-out therapist with nothing left to believe in.
When Dr. Theo Ambrose is summoned by a mysterious government agency to counsel a mythological figure who claims to be Atlas, he expects delusion. What he finds instead is the sky-contained, collapsing, and desperate for someone to carry its weight. As Theo is drawn into a world of divine bureaucracy, unraveling weather, and ancient burdens, he must navigate the thin line between therapy and salvation. But Atlas doesn't want to go back to carrying the sky. He wants to know why he ever did.
Atlas Slept is a darkly humorous contemporary fantasy about gods, grief, and the fragile scaffolding of meaning that holds us all together.
