One of "Stephen King's best...genuinely scary" (<i>USA TODAY</i>).</b> <p/>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... <p/>"King at his best...a winner!" --<i>The New York Times</i><br> "Unadulteratedly terrifying...frightening." --<i>Publishers Weekly</i><br> "Classic King...full of twists and turns and mounting suspense." --<i>The Boston Globe</i><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Stephen King is the author of more than sixty books, all of them worldwide bestsellers.
