Blurb:

Paul Sheldon is a bestselling novelist ready to move on from the character that made him famous — Misery Chastain. After finishing the final book that ends her story, he looks forward to writing something new. But when a car accident leaves him trapped and broken in a remote mountain home, his life takes a dark and terrifying turn.

His rescuer, Annie Wilkes, claims to be his number one fan. At first, she seems caring and devoted, nursing Paul back to health. But when she discovers that Paul has killed off her beloved Misery, her admiration turns to fury. Stranded, drugged, and utterly dependent on her, Paul must find a way to survive as Annie’s obsession spirals into madness.

Misery by Stephen King is a masterclass in psychological horror and tension. It explores creativity, control, and the terrifying power of obsession. With only two main characters and one isolated setting, King delivers one of his most intense and claustrophobic stories — a relentless battle of willpower and survival between author and fan.
