This week our discussion of Gerald's Game continues with chapters 14-24. Jessie's struggles continue as she finally confronts the events on Dark Score Lake in 1963.

We talk about King's choice to "go there" and not hold back, how the text communicates Tom's intentions despite Jessie's ignorance, and our absolute disgust with everything. Look, folks, this is a tough one. It's probably some of the most disturbing and disgusting things we've covered on this show. Hopefully, we covered it with the care it deserves.

Next week Gerald's Game continues with chapters 25-33

Discussion Question: What is the most uncomfortable you've been made by reading or watching something? Do these moments have value in storytelling?
