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 Kings 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 husbands 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 Kings novels haunt in many different ways. Geralds Game kept us up half the night we couldnt put it down (Newsweek).
