First I’d like to thank glenne3 for all the excellent Stephen King books they’ve been uploading recently. One of them was the source for this torrent.

I started listening to Gerald’s Game but found myself hating the intrusive music jingles inserted in increasingly random places.

To make matters worse, Lindsay Crouse gets very shouty in places so I was constantly worried about waking the rest of the house.

To fix this I went though and deleted all the music which had no narration over the top, meaning it could be cleanly removed. I reckon about 70% of the music is now gone.

I then compressed and limited the dynamic range so the shouting isn’t so loud and I ran some noise reduction on the background rumble.

Finally, I hate 75 minute CD length chapters, so I split each of these into 25 minute chapters.

I think it’s now much less objectionable & now I’ve done the work I might as well share it.

When a game of seduction between a husband and wife ends in death, the nightmare has only just begun in this sinister twist on a bedtime story – a number-one national best seller and “one of Stephen King’s best” (USA Today).

Gerald and Jessie Burlingame have gone to their summer home on a warm weekday in October for a romantic getaway. After being handcuffed to her bedposts, Jessie tires of her husband’s games, but when Gerald refuses to stop, the evening ends with deadly consequences. Still handcuffed, Jessie is trapped and alone.

Over the next 28 hours, in the lakeside house that has become a prison, Jessie will come face to face with all the things she has ever feared. Her only company is a hungry stray dog and the various voices that fill her mind. As night comes, she is unsure whether it is her imagination or if she has another companion: someone watching her from the corner of her dark bedroom.

A master of his craft, Stephen King’s novels haunt in many different ways. Gerald’s Game “kept us up half the night, we couldn’t put it down” (Newsweek).
