A Good Marriage | Stephen King

🎧 I really thought the ending was going to be different.

It‘s so short (3 hours or 205 pages) that I can‘t really say much without spoiling it.

A 26 year happy marriage. Do you ever truly know someone? A couple twists & turns. 2 grown kids out of the house. A CPA husband & loving wife. What could go wrong?

A solid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 72

I listened to this novella. Stephen King is a skilled storyteller, but he's misogynistic. The narrator exacerbates the problem as she reads the misogynistic parts in a whiney voice. ⭐⭐⭐

What defines a “good” marriage? Darcy and her husband have a good marriage - 20+ years. One night when he‘s out of town, she stumbles upon a hidden box that makes clear some secrets he has that are too horrifying to forget. I love Darcy‘s inner dialogue between regular good-wife Darcy and suspicious realistic Darcy. Another King page turner!

This was a quick (3 hour) audiobook. The story was interesting, but the narrator wasn‘t my favorite. She reminded me of Shelley Duvall in the Shining.

G is for A Good Marriage

This is a short story in Full Dark No Stars that was made into a movie in 2014. I haven‘t read this one yet nor have I seen the movie. 🤦🏾‍♀️

GarthRanzz I totally spaced this movie! Need to add it along with 1922 and Gerald‘s Game and have a King marathon! 7y
Bookladylinda @Craftylikefox that is good to know!! 7y

A mini-collection of two novellas, “A Good Marriage” and “1922.” Both good stories, depending more on psychological suspense than gore for the horror content. “A Good Marriage” will make you paranoid about whether your spouse has a secret life! Warning: DO NOT read “1922” if you have a phobia about rats. Just don‘t do it. The rats keep reappearing all through the story and it‘s super creepy. I‘m glad I read this.It‘s been awhile since I read King.

I really enjoyed listening to this short story on audio. It clocked in a little over three hours, so it was quick. The premise was both interesting and frightening. I recommend this story.

Reggie This is from Full Dark No Stars and every story will stick with you. Sooooo good. 7y
AceOnRoam I'm hoping in this picture that Mrs used the Mr towel so hers wouldn't get dirty. I could never read a SK horror! 7y
Melkyl @AceOnRoam This Stephen King is not too scary. I think it‘s more of a mind thriller. It makes you think how you would react if faced with the same (horrible!) situation. 7y
AceOnRoam Thanks @Melwilk I'm planning to read an SK in the near future, apparently he does write some that are not horror. 7y

The story was great but the the narration was not that great. I found it tough to keep on listening, but I had to know what happened to Darcy. While I will say it's a "pick" I give the audio a "so-so." #Hoopla #Audiobook #Litsyloveslibraries

JoeStalksBeck The movie is actually better 7y
TheBookAddict @JoeStalksBeck now I have to check it out because it's rare when the movie is better. 7y
JoeStalksBeck Exactly! I didn't like the book at all but the movie is pretty intense 7y

I don't think I'm liking the narration for this one. SK is usually great at picking his narrators so I'm hoping it gets better. #audibook

Did this quick listen while cleaning house today. (3hours) I must say , the movie was far better. The book has no detail whatsoever

Sarahr875 I agree! I was not impressed with the book. 8y
azulaco Well, now I have to track down the movie. I love Anthony LaPaglia. 8y
AGirlAndHerBooks Interesting! I read the story several years ago when it came out and enjoyed (though it wasn't my favorite of the collection). I skipped the movie but hadn't heard great things of the adaptation. 8y
