Misery
by Stephen King — Book Club Edition, 1987 (Viking Penguin)
Stephen King’s Misery is a chilling masterpiece of psychological horror — a terrifying portrait of obsession, captivity, and madness.
Bestselling author Paul Sheldon wakes up in the isolated home of Annie Wilkes, his “number one fan.” But Annie’s devotion turns violent when she learns Paul has killed off her favorite character in his novels. What follows is a harrowing battle of survival and control — a story that explores the thin line between creativity and cruelty.
Published in 1987 by Viking Penguin, this first edition copy features the original black dust jacket with red title lettering and the Viking logo at the spine base. It is the definitive collectible edition of one of Stephen King’s most beloved and disturbing works, later adapted into the 1990 Oscar-winning film starring Kathy Bates and James Caan.
