In this epic SK novel, a romantic weekend getaway turns interesting when passion and handcuffs turn unintendedly deathly for one unfortunate personality. As Jessie hears the click of the second handcuff locking her to the bedposts and sees her husband Gerald looming over her, a nerve-snap of recognition tells her that this time, Gerald is playing for keeps. Stephen King serves readers a most ambitious terror tale - a novel of excruciating suspense and uncanny insight into the dark corners of an indomitable female psyche. 332 pages. Insured post..
