KING, Stephen. Gerald's Game. (New York): Viking, (1992). Octavo, original black cloth, original dust jacket. $250.

Special advance promotional copy of this psychological horror novel, limited to 2000 copies and featuring a facsimile message from the author.

"King's latest story-machine plows along unstoppably, turning one woman's agony into wicked—yet, to his credit, never quite cruel—entertainment" (Entertainment Weekly). The book was the basis for a 2017 movie directed by Mike Flanagan, starring Carla Gugino and Bruce Greenwood. This copy is one of 2000 specially printed to be distributed at an American Booksellers Association convention; unlike the trade edition, the front free endpaper features a facsimile letter written/signed by King opening "Dear Bookseller/Constant Reader." Without the slipcase but with a supplied first-edition dust jacket. Brooks A46.2.

An about-fine copy of this interesting, scarce printing.
