Summary
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 #1 national bestseller and "one of
Stephen King's 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 husband's
games, but when Gerald refuses to stop, the evening ends with
deadly consequences. Still handcuffed, Jessie is trapped and
alone.
Over the next twenty-eight 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 King's novels...
