Publisher Description

Now a Netflix movie directed by Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) and starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood.

Master storyteller Stephen King presents this classic, terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller. When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only begun…

“And now the voice which spoke belonged to no one but herself. Oh my God, it said. Oh my God, I am all alone out here. I am all alone.

Once again, Jessie Burlingame has been talked into submitting to her husband Gerald’s kinky sex games—something that she’s frankly had enough of, and they never held much charm for her to begin with. So much for a “romantic getaway” at their secluded summer home. After Jessie is handcuffed to the bedposts—and Gerald crosses a line with his wife—the day ends with deadly consequences. Now Jessie is utterly trapped in an isolated lakeside house that has become her prison—and comes face-to-face with her deepest, darkest fears and memories. Her only company is that of the various voices filling her mind…as well as the shadows of nightfall that may conceal an imagined or very real threat right there with her…

"S.K #6....I surprised myself by actually really enjoying this book! Everyone says its one of king's worst novels, and while it wasn't my favorite, I still thought it was good. I was also impressed, because it scared me. While I thought other King novels, such as Salem's Lot (my personal favorite), and the Shining were scary while I was reading, the fear of those novels never stuck with me. After reading Gerald's Game, I was stuck with a fear that lurked in the shadows of my room at night and kept me up. Way to go King!"

    " While I typically love Stephen King's work, this book was agony just to get through. The premise was great, and it definitely changed my sexual activities a bit ('nuf said there), however I think the sheer volume of pages dedicated to the story were way overdone. I believe that King could have told the story effectively in half the amount of time...however, perhaps he was out to play; experimenting with how long he could keep us bound to the main character's agonizing efforts to free herself from her predicament. In that case, I played right into his mischievous hands, determined to see each torturous step through to the end. And oh what a creepy ending it was... "
