320 pages

On that stormy, dark, and cold nigh, author, Paul Sheldon, never made it to where he was going. Because of the horrific storm terrorizing the town, his car slid off the road and into the ditch. His rescuer however, turns out to be the very last person he would want talking care of him.
Annie, otherwise known as Sheldon's psychotic fan, was the one who rescued him. Throughout the story however, we see she did more damage to this man than good. Her obsession with Paul Sheldon's fictional character, Misery Chastain, caused Annie to frantically do things to hurt and endanger Paul. Sheldon, in his time of utter helplessness, has no choice but to wait out the days and see if anybody will call for him. Little does he know, Annie has an interesting way of living; no phone calls, mail, anything, will ever be received or sent to or from her home. Will Paul make it out out in time to save his life, or will Annie and her wacky antics keep him locked away?
