MISERY, also know by the movie version starring James Caan and Kathy Bates, is a suspenseful thriller by the master of horror and suspense, Stephen King.

Misery is the story of romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is driving to his winter retreat in Colorado to work on another work on his latest book. While driving, drunk, however, he loses control of his car, crashes and is knocked unconscious. He awakens to find himself in a rundown farmhouse, cut off from the outside world by a blizzard and it the company of Annie, the unstable resident of the farm. Annie professes to be Paul’s number one fan and sets out to nurse him from his injuries. Paul’s legs were crushed in the car accident and he is dependant upon Annie for pain medication. When Annie discovers that Paul’s new book is not about the heroine, Misery Chastain, that has made his past novels popular, but that he is planning a new work without the character of Misery, she forces him to destroy his new book and write another. To force him to write a book about Misery Chastain, Annie tortures and controls Paul, and ultimately, Paul has to write a new chapter everyday on order to stay alive.
