Misery
320 Pages
When bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon wakes up in a remote Colorado home after a car crash, he’s injured, confused, and entirely at the mercy of Annie Wilkes; his “number one fan.” At first, Annie seems like a savior. Then she reads the manuscript for Paul’s newest book…and she doesn’t like what he’s done to her favorite character.
What follows is a tense, claustrophobic descent into obsession, manipulation, and survival. Trapped, broken, and isolated from the world, Paul has only his mind, his typewriter, and his will to live.
Misery is one of King’s tightest and most terrifying novels. No monsters, no ghosts, just two people in a locked house and the sickening realization that one of them is willing to do anything to get the story they want.
