When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only just begun in this sinister twist on a bedtime story - a number-one national best seller and "one of Stephen King's best" (USA Today).
Gerald and Jessie Burlingame have gone to their summer home on a warm weekday in October for a romantic getaway. After being handcuffed to her bedposts, Jessie tires of her husband's games, but when Gerald refuses to stop, the evening ends with deadly consequences. Still handcuffed, Jessie is trapped and alone.
Over the next 28 hours, in the lakeside house that has become a prison, Jessie will come face to face with all the things she has ever feared. Her only company is a hungry stray dog and the various voices that fill her mind. As night comes, she is unsure whether it is her imagination or if she has another companion: someone watching her from the corner of her dark bedroom.
A master of his craft, Stephen King's novels haunt in many different ways. Gerald's Game "kept us up half the night, we couldn't put it down" (Newsweek).

Without giving away any spoilers all I can say is that the blame for this catastrophe of a story falls squarely on three sets of shoulders. First is the reader who’s forced and vapid style did nothing to help the story and was tiresome to listen too. Next in line is the producer in no small part for hiring the reader in the first place but much more for the God awful sound effect that would randomly appear. All in all the worst production of an unabridged novel I’ve ever heard.
Lastly I can’t help but wonder what would have happened to Stephen King if this was his first novel. I can’t imaging that a major publisher would pick this story up let alone actually publish it.
The above is just my personal opinion and I realize that I didn’t go into any detail of why I thought so lowly of the novel but in my defense I’m writing this on my iPhone and it is very tedious to write anything longer than this. In the end I’ll just say this, I have read or listened to a significant part of Stephen King’s body of work and like most it, loved much of it but this is one of those rare creatures where the movie is actually better than the book. Buyer beware...
