Misery, c'est le nom de l'héroïne populaire qui a rapporté des millions de dollars au romancier Paul Sheldon. Après quoi il en a eu assez : il a fait mourir Misery pour écrire enfin le « vrai » roman dont il rêvait.
Et puis il a suffi de quelques verres de trop et d'une route enneigée, dans un coin perdu... Lorsqu'il reprend conscience, il est allongé sur un lit, les jambes broyées dans l'accident. Sauvé par une femme, Annie. Une admiratrice fervente. Qui ne lui pardonne pas d'avoir tué Misery. Et le supplice va commencer.
Sans monstres ni fantômes, un Stephen King au sommet de sa puissance nous enferme ici dans le plus terrifiant huis clos qu'on puisse imaginer.

Work Description

Novelist Paul Sheldon has plans to make the difficult transition from writing historical romances featuring heroine Misery Chastain to publishing literary fiction. Annie Wilkes, Sheldon's number one fan, rescues the author from the scene of a car accident. The former nurse takes care of him in her remote house, but becomes irate when she discovers that the author has killed Misery off in his latest book. Annie keeps Sheldon prisoner while forcing him to write a book that brings Misery back to life.
