Event Information
Misery follows successful romance novelist Paul Sheldon, who is rescued from a car crash by
his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, and wakes up captive in her secluded home. While Paul is
convalescing, Annie reads his latest book and becomes enraged when she discovers the author
has killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain. Annie forces Paul to write a new Misery
novel, and he quickly realizes Annie has no intention of letting him go anywhere. The irate Annie
has Paul writing as if his life depends on it, and it does.
