Now a Netflix movie directed by Mike Flanagan (Oculus, Hush) and starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood.
Master storyteller Stephen King presents this classic, terrifying #1 New York Times bestseller. When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only begun…
“And now the voice which spoke belonged to no one but herself. Oh my God, it said. Oh my God, I am all alone out here. I am all alone.”
Once again, Jessie Burlingame has been talked into submitting to her husband Gerald’s kinky sex games—something that she’s frankly had enough of, and they never held much charm for her to begin with. So much for a “romantic getaway” at their secluded summer home. After Jessie is handcuffed to the bedposts—and Gerald crosses a line with his wife—the day ends with deadly consequences. Now Jessie is utterly trapped in an isolated lakeside house that has become her prison—and comes face-to-face with her deepest, darkest fears and memories. Her only company is that of the various voices filling her mind…as well as the shadows of nightfall that may conceal an imagined or very real threat right there with her…

I was so wrong by believing that just because it was gonna be a story about just one person standing alone with no one else there, it would be one of the chilliest novels I’ll read from Mr. King… how wrong I was! Being in a person’s head and thoughts can be one of the most terrifying experiences I could read. I love all the characters that Stephen can create, but her female characters are SO unbelievably amazing, they are the most twisted ones or the most strongest ones, and I love that so so much! Also I admire how he could make you feel like she was never alone ‘cause of this internal conversations, was really clever. He can talk you about so common situations and make you realize how hurtful and horrific that can be.
