Gerald's Game

332 pp. Inspiration for 2017 Mike Flanagan film starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood. This directly preceded Flanagan's work on The Haunting of Hill House and The Haunting of Bly Manor, which also starred Gugino. "Stephen King cranks up the suspense in a different kind of bedtime story. A game of seduction between a husband and wife goes horribly awry when the husband suddenly dies. But the wife's nightmare has just begun."
