£125.00
A first edition, first printing of Misery by Stephen King, published by Hodder and Stoughton, London in 1987. A near fine book signed in blue ink by a previous owner to the front free end paper, boards bound in blue cloth with silver titling to the spine, with pushing to the spine tips and browning to the text block. In a near fine unclipped wrapper with some light pushing and chipping to the spine tips and corners.
Misery by Stephen King is a psychological horror novel about Paul Sheldon, a famous author who is kidnapped by his “number one fan,” Annie Wilkes, after a car accident. Annie, a disturbed former nurse, forces Paul to write a new novel reviving her favourite character, Misery Chastain. As Paul realises the extent of Annie’s madness, he struggles to escape her clutches. The novel explores themes of obsession, captivity and the terrifying power of a fan’s fixation.
