In Misery, bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon has just killed off his most famous character and is desperate to move on. But when a blizzard forces him off the road and he’s rescued by Annie Wilkes, his self-proclaimed “number one fan,” he finds himself trapped in her remote home—and at her mercy. Annie is wounded, unpredictable, and insistent that Paul resurrect his heroine. As her demands grow more extreme, Paul must confront a horrifying question: is he captive in someone’s devotion, or a writer whose life is being rewritten by a madwoman?
