Description:
Return to the gripping, suspenseful classic #1 New York Times bestseller by master storyteller Stephen King
Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon thinks he is finally free of Misery Chastain. In a controversial career move, he has just killed off the popular protagonist of his beloved romance series in favor of expanding his creative horizons.
But such 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 is 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.
