Now available for the first time in a mass market premium edition—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… 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…

Twisted premise but I love stories like that.
UNIQUE AND TWISTED.
Gerald’s Game took a while to really start but once it did, it really took off! When starting this book, I wondered had Stephen King really ventured into adding sex but once I began to understand what the premise was, it turned an innocent sex play into something terrifying. The fact that this is something that could happen to anyone only made the novel more chilling.
My first real horror from Stephen King. A you-can’t-put-it-down-don’t-blink- story that you think will be easy to predict.
it’s not.
I don’t enjoy being terrified, or petrified. But this one is just the perfect balance of scary and thrilling and –what in the &%$& was that ending–
Just read it. It’s so good.
Waste of time. Such a good storyline, so full of suspense…what will happen next. Well, Stephen King dropped the ball with this book. There was so much unnecessary back story that it smothered the story. Felt frustrated wirhbthis book. My own opinion.
I have to admit, not one of my favorite King books. Indeed, it turns me off for a while to his books.
I really didn’t like this book. Very warped.
It’s a good book, but I found it a bit dull for King.
Boring not one of his better efforts
Against draaaaaaaaaaaaaags on. Gets old quick. Maybe I’ll just watch the Netflix series.
