Description from Goodreads
A game. A husband and wife game. Gerald's Game.
But this time Jesse didn't want to play. Lying there, spreadeagled and handcuffed to the bedstead while he'd loomed and drooled over her, she'd felt angry and humiliated.
So she'd kicked out hard. Aimed to hit him where it hurt.
And now he was dead - a coronary - on the floor.
Leaving Jesse alone and helpless in a lakeside holiday cabin. Miles from anywhere. No-one to hear her screams.
Alone. Except for the voices in her head that had begun to chatter and argue and sneer . . .
My Thoughts on the Book
There's something about Stephen King's writing, that makes the stories get in under my skin and Gerald's Game is no exception to that. It's most certainly a book with a slow pace, but there's still plenty of tension, and for that matter, dark themes.
While I can get why Gerald's Game isn't for everyone, and some people might need a trigger warning or two before diving into this book, but apart from that, it's a book I can easily recommend.
