-THE ISLAND LIFE-

"Misery" is a psychological horror novel written by Stephen King, first published on June 8, 1987. The story revolves around Paul Sheldon, a successful romance novelist who becomes the captive of his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes.

After a car accident, Paul is rescued by Annie, who takes him to her remote home to recover. However, he soon discovers that Annie is not only obsessed with his work but also deeply disturbed. When she learns that Paul has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain, in his latest novel, her affection turns into rage. Annie forces Paul to rewrite the story, demanding that he bring Misery back to life, leading to a terrifying battle of wills.

The novel explores themes of obsession, creativity, and the relationship between an artist and their audience. Annie Wilkes is portrayed as one of King's most chilling characters, embodying the extremes of fandom and the darker sides of human nature. The tension between Paul and Annie escalates throughout the narrative, creating a gripping psychological thriller that keeps readers on the edge of their seats.

"Misery" has received critical acclaim and is considered one of King's best works. It was adapted into a successful film in 1990, starring Kathy Bates as Annie, a role for which she won an Academy Award for Best Actress. The novel remains a powerful commentary on the nature of creativity and the sometimes perilous relationship between creators and their fans.
