Flanagan's Wake #7: GERALD'S GAME (Part 2)

This week our coverage of Gerald's Game continues with chapters 9-13 of the novel. Jessie begins to slowly remember more and more of her past as she struggles to get a glass of water. 

We chat about King's carefully laid structural elements, how Jessie's realizations recontextualize old moments, and the wonderfully tense water scene that Matt argues accomplished nothing

Next week Gerald's Game continues with chapters 14-24. 

Discussion Question: What is the best/scariest sudden introduction of a monster or a man in stories?
