  • "Paul Sheldon was sick of Misery Chastain. She had paid the bills and made him famous but she drained his creativity, so he had killed her in "Misery's child", making it the last Chastain novel he would have to write. Finishing a new book, "Fast cars", with the usual celebration, he had an accident and was pulled from the wreckage by Annie Wilkes, his Number One Fan. Unfortunately she was also an obsessive fan of Misery."
  • "A novelist must write to save his life as he is held captive by a deranged fan."
  • "Paul Sheldon est un auteur à succès. Un accident de voiture le laisse paralysé, aux mains d'une infirmière parfaite, qui adore lire, mais ne lui pardonne pas d'avoir fait mourir l'héroïne de son dernier roman. Par malchance, Annie Wilkes est complètement folle."
  • "Paul Sheldon, author of a bestselling series of historical romances, suffers serious injuries from an auto accident and is at the mercy of Annie Wilkes, a psychotic ex-nurse who claims to be his number one fan. When Sheldon is forced to write a follow-up novel about a character he had killed off, fear of torture is his greatest motivation."
  • "Best-selling author Paul Sheldon is fortunate to have survived a deadly car crash. However, when he awakes from the accident, he finds himself held captive by a psychotic woman who claims to be his biggest fan. Unfortunately for Paul, this loony fan is disgruntled because he killed off her favorite character. Paul is forced to fight for his life and try to escape, before the woman makes good on her threats to torture and kill him."@en
  • "Thrown from the wreckage of his '74 Camaro, Paul Sheldon, author of a bestselling series of historical romances, wakes up one day in a secluded Colorado farmhouse owned by Annie Wilkes, a psychotic ex-nurse who claims she is his number one fan. Immobilized from the pain of two shattered legs and a crushed knee, Sheldon is at Annie's mercy. Unfortunately for Sheldon, Annie is mad; mad that he killed off her favorite character, Misery Chastain, in his latest book; mad that he wants to escape; and of course, mad in the most extreme clinical sense of the word. To set the world straight, Annie buys Sheldon a typewriter and some paper, drugs him, locks him in a room, and forces him to bring Misery back to life in a novel dedicated to her. Fear of physical torture is Sheldon's greatest motivation. One wrong sentence and she is likely to smash his legs with a sledgehammer, cut his thumbs off with a hacksaw, or much, much worse. But writers have weapons too."@en
