Reviews
Solid character delineation and terrifying insight. In addition to being able to scare the reader breathless, King says a tremendous amount about writing itself. We delight in his virtuosity., Vintage King…a masterpiece of horror…creates a level of tension that makes it difficult to keep your eyes from jumping to the next page to escape sooner., Misery had me on edge for days after I'd finished it... the novel is something else -- an airless, claustrophobic portrait of an egotistic writer pushed to the edge of madness by pain, pills,incarceration, the expectations of his reading public and a deadline like he's never known before. In the book, our hero is as threatened by the demons within as he is by the madwoman beside his bed. Like him, you the reader can't wait to escape; yet you can no more walk away from Mr. King's tightly spun yarn than Paul can walk away from his captor., Vintage King...a masterpiece of horror...creates a level of tension that makes it difficult to keep your eyes from jumping to the next page to escape sooner., Misery had me on edge for days after I'd finished it… the novel is something else - an airless, claustrophobic portrait of an egotistic writer pushed to the edge of madness by pain, pills,incarceration, the expectations of his reading public and a deadline like he's never known before.

Synopsis
The #1 New York Times bestseller about a famous novelist held hostage in a remote location by his "number one fan." One of "Stephen King's best...genuinely scary" ( USA TODAY ). Paul Sheldon is a bestselling novelist who has finally met his number one fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she is more than a rabid reader--she is Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also furious that the author has killed off her favorite character in his latest book. Annie becomes his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house. Annie wants Paul to write a book that brings Misery back to life--just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an axe. And if they don't work, she can get really nasty. "Terrifying" ( San Francisco Chronicle ), "dazzlingly well-written" ( The Indianapolis Star ), and "truly gripping" ( Publishers Weekly ), Misery is "classic Stephen King...full of twists and turns and mounting suspense" ( The Boston Globe )., The #1 New York Times bestselling tale of terror from master storyteller Stephen King about a famous novelist held hostage in a remote location by his "number one fan". Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon thinks he's finally free of Misery Chastain. In a controversial career move, he's just killed off the popular protagonist of his beloved romance series in favor of expanding his creative horizons. But such a change doesn't come without consequences. After a near-fatal car accident in rural Colorado leaves his body broken, Paul finds himself at the mercy of the terrifying rescuer who's nursing him back to health--his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes. Annie is very upset over what Paul did to Misery and demands that he find a way to bring her back by writing a new novel--his best yet, and one that's all for her. After all, Paul has all the time in the world to do so as a prisoner in her isolated house...and Annie has some very persuasive and violent methods to get exactly what she wants...
