Paul Sheldon is on top of the world. He has just finished a new novel, and is setting off on a jaunt, because he can. However, he is about to find out that having adoring fans is not always a great thing. When he crashes his car, he is found by one of his biggest fans... and one of the craziest. What happens to Paul over the next several months unfolds in this story, as we see terror unfurl under one roof. Who knew Annie Wilkes was such a crazy adoring fan?
She insists that he bring back the character he hated, and finally killed off. But as he works on the new novel, the house of horrors begins to unfold even more. He carefully navigates around her moods, but there is no telling when she will snap and pain begins.
As he contemplates his escape, he rejects idea after idea, but eventually something will work, and its the state trooper who showed up, the one who died in her driveway that will prove to be his way out... if he can survive long enough..

This book was fantastic! There is some rather strong language, but the premise and the story line kept me hooked the entire way through!! This is one book that will have you reading with a flashlight in the dark - you cant just put it down and walk away!
