Paul Sheldon, author of the "Misery" series, gets tired of his main character, and "kills her off" in his latest and last Misery book. Then he has a terrible car accident. He is rescued and cared for at the isolated Colorado home of Annie Wilkes, a former nurse. She does her job well until she buys Paul's latest book "Misery." Then she becomes unhappy. Very unhappy indeed. She buys Paul typewriter and paper and tells him to bring Misery back to life. Paul may not want to do it, but Annie seems to be holding all the cards - not to mention the drugs, the axe and the blowtorch.Paul & Annie are two of Kings finest creations. Their duel in "Misery" is an extraordinary story of insanity and creativity, courage and suspense, despair and unadulterated terror.
