Description

Set in a remote and snowbound cabin, a famous author finds himself at the mercy of his most ardent fan. After a brutal car accident leaves him incapacitated, Paul Sheldon is rescued by Annie Wilkes, a woman whose obsession with his novels quickly turns sinister. As Paul begins to regain his strength, he discovers that Annie is not only familiar with his work, she has an aversion to the direction his stories have taken.

Annie's true nature emerges as she demands Paul write a new book featuring her favorite character, Misery, who she believes deserves to live. The psychological tension escalates, leaving Paul trapped in a twisted game of survival. While he grapples with pain and fear, his creativity is stifled by Annie’s increasingly erratic behavior.

This gripping tale explores the dark side of fandom and obsession, examining the fine line between admiration and madness. As Paul fights to escape his captor's clutches, he must confront his own demons and find a way to reclaim his life and voice. Stephen King's masterful storytelling grips the reader, painting a haunting portrait of desperation and endurance in the face of unimaginable horror.

Fue el primer libro que me hizo sentir algo más que curiosidad, más que terror me mantuvo con la historia presente a pesar de encontrarme realizando otras actividades. Por mucho, mi libro favorito.
