Flanagan's Wake #6: GERALD'S GAME (Part 1)

This week Matt and Scott begin their time with Stephen King's Gerald's Game as they read the novel in preparation to discuss Mike Flanagan's adaptation. This week, the first 8 chapters!

We chat about Stephen King's experimentation in both style and form, the challenge of adapting this book, and the wonderfully complex Jessie Burlingame. 

Next week Gerald's Game continues with chapters 9-13 of the novel.

Discussion Question: What is your favorite character trapped in a bad situation story?
