Misery
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).
Bestselling novelist Paul Sheldon thinks he’s finally free of Misery Chastain. In a controversial career move, he’s just killed off the popular protagonist of his beloved romance series in favor of expanding his creative horizons. But such a change doesn’t come without consequences. After a near-fatal car accident in rural Colorado leaves his body broken, Paul finds himself at the mercy of the terrifying rescuer who’s nursing him back to health—his self-proclaimed number one fan, Annie Wilkes. Annie is very upset over what Paul did to Misery and demands that he find a way to bring her back by writing a new novel—his best yet, and one that’s all for her. After all, Paul has all the time in the world to do so as a prisoner in her isolated house...and Annie has some very persuasive and violent methods to get exactly what she wants...

Sometimes a villain is sympathetic. You may find yourself agreeing with their motives, their actions and may even root for them at times….. Sometimes. Annie Wilkes doesn’t allow for any of that. I wouldn’t want to be in the same supermarket with her. SK does a wonderful job of making her one of fiction’s scariest villains.

So good

Absolute 10/10, Annie Wilkes is one of the most scary horror book villains I’ve seen, mostly due to the fact that people like her exist.

Nobody tells a story like King. I read this in the 7th grade. And it’s the book that turned me into a reader.
