A game. A husband and wife game. Gerald's Game. But this time Jesse doesn't want to play. Lying there,spread-eagled and handcuffed to the bedstead while he looms and drools over her,she feels angry and humiliated. So she kicks out hard. Aims to hit him where it hurts. He isn't meant to die,leaving Jesse alone and helpless in a lakeside holiday cabin. Miles from anywhere. No-one to hear her screams. Alone.Except for the stray dog that smells her blood,the voices in her head which begin to chatter,and the board which creaks stealthily at nightfall,signalling that something or someone else is close by.

MEDIA REVIEWS
Hugely affecting
Stephen King
We celebrate the author known to many as the father of modern horror. For a generation of readers,Stephen King is the voice of the underbelly of small-town America,having made his name as the author of cult classics (with an equally strong legacy of film adaptations) including Carrie,The Shining,The Green Mile,The Stand,Pet Sematary,IT,Under the DomeandThe Tommyknockers. If there's an author who knows how to mine the dark recesses of the human imagination,it's King.
