The volume remains tightly bound and structurally sound, though the black cloth boards exhibit noticeable white scuffing and minor blemishes, predominantly across the front and rear panels. Despite this, the gilt lettering to the spine remains bright and unoxidised. Internally, the text block is clean and free from pervasive foxing or previous ownership inscriptions, though the page edges show some light, age-appropriate toning. The original, unclipped dust jacket (£14.99 net in UK) has been remarkably well-preserved, presenting vibrant, glossy colours without fading, and displaying only the most trivial hints of shelf-wear at the extremities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e This volume represents the true UK first edition, first printing of King's psychological thriller.

After her husband dies suddenly of a heart attack, Jessie Burlingame finds herself helplessly handcuffed to a bedpost in an isolated Maine summer cabin. As dehydration sets in and the profound isolation begins to distort her reality, she is forced to confront the darkest traumas of her past—and the terrifying possibility that she may not be as alone in the dark room as she initially thought. Stephen King delivers a masterclass in claustrophobic suspense, weaving a visceral tale of survival and psychological terror.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Broadhursts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54315990188371,"sku":"4570","price":40.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0960\/1469\/6787\/files\/20260708_122329.jpg?v=1784118497","url":"https:\/\/broadhurstsbooks.com\/products\/geralds-game-stephen-king-1st-edition","provider":"Broadhursts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
