Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon has finally met his biggest fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she's dismayed to discover Paul's plans to kill off Misery Chastain, the heroine of his beloved series. Annie is more than a rabid reader-she is Paul's captor, spurring him on to write his greatest work. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an axe. And then there's the blowtorch. #misery #anniewilkes #kathybates #stephenking #writer #typewriter #writinghouse #horror
