Misery by Stephen King is a chilling psychological thriller that delves into the darkest fundamentals of obsession and confinement. Author Paul Sheldon, famous for his romantic fiction, is seriously injured in a car crash and wakes up in the care of Annie Wilkes—a former nurse and his self-proclaimed “number one fan.” Trapped in isolation, Paul soon realizes that Annie’s adoration is laced with mania. Forced to unwind his final manuscript to please her, he must summon every shred of wit and resilience to survive her twisted loyalty. This harrowing tale of survival, authorial entrapment, and the gruesome price of fandom remains one of King’s most visceral and enduring works.
