Summary

Estaba loca, pero él la necesitaba.

Paul Sheldon es un escritor que sufre un grave accidente y recobra el conocimiento en una apartada casa, donde vive una misteriosa mujer, capaz de cometer los mayores horrores.

Paul tendrá que luchar por su vida.

 
Misery Chastain ha muerto. Paul Sheldon la ha matado. Con alivio y hasta con alegría. Misery lo ha hecho rico. Porque Misery es la protagonista de sus exitosos libros.

Paul quiere volver a escribir. Algo diferente, algo auténtico. Pero entonces sufre un accidente y despierta inmóvil y atravesado por el dolor en una cama que no es la suya, tampoco la de un hospital.

Annie Wilkes lo ha recogido y lo ha traído a su remota casa de la montaña. La buena noticia es que Annie había sido enfermera y tiene medicamentos analgésicos. La mala es que durante mucho tiempo ha sido la fan número uno de Paul. Y cuando descubre lo que le ha hecho a Misery Chastain, no le gusta. No le gusta en absoluto.

Antes, Paul Sheldon escribía para ganarse la vida. Ahora, Paul Sheldon escribe para sobrevivir.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

The #1 New York Times bestseller about a famous novelist held hostage in a remote location by his “number one fan.” One of “Stephen King’s best…genuinely scary” (USA TODAY).

Paul Sheldon is a bestselling novelist who has finally met his number one fan. Her name is Annie Wilkes, and she is more than a rabid reader—she is Paul’s nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. But she is also furious that the author has killed off her favorite character in his latest book. Annie becomes his captor, keeping him prisoner in her isolated house.

Annie wants Paul to write a book that brings Misery back to life—just for her. She has a lot of ways to spur him on. One is a needle. Another is an axe. And if they don’t work, she can get really nasty.

“King at his best…a winner!” —The New York Times
“Unadulteratedly terrifying…frightening.” —Publishers Weekly
“Classic King…full of twists and turns and mounting suspense.” —The Boston Globe
