Introduction to Misery

Stephen King is no doubt my favorite author of all time. He manages to capture true fear in all his works, mostly based on experiences or ideas, such as being attacked by a rabid dog led him to write Cujo, or wondering how many people had the hotel room before him making him create 1408. Misery is one of his most praised novels and film, making me want to explore the psychology and reasoning behind the writing of the story and how a disturbingly painful novel could exist.
