Fun fact about Misery: Stephen King said he wrote it while he was struggling with addiction. The writer symbolizes him and the captor symbolizes drugs and alcohol (he talks about it in his book On Writing, it's quite interesting).

I heard a different story: Just before Misery, SK wrote The Eyes of the Dragon, which was not well received because readers' expectations were different than what he had written and he got some backlash for it. He wrote Misery as a metaphor for feeling "trapped" into writing only what readers expect from him; you know, to stick with the whole "horror" thing and not branch out of what his fans had come to expect and love. Either way, I think backstories are interesting, and Misery is a good book.

You showed my three favourite SK novels in succession. *Pet* *Sematary* , *It* and *The* *Stand* . *Pet* *Sematary* was the first novel of his that I read and it scared me, but it also had me on the edge of tears. This, for me, was a new experience as I was 19 at the time and never cried at anything. I read *It* a few months later, and this was the only novel I ever read that I woke up early in the morning to read before going to work, reading at every tea break and lunch, and then rushing back home later just so I could start reading it again. *The* *Stand* was a mighty book. My favourite first chapter of any book, but a real task to get through as it's just so long. It took me two weeks to read it, but I loved the story and the characters in it. So simple yet complex. The virus wipes them out, then they have to rebuild, while at the same time trying to overcome a demonic force that is intent on destroying them. When I put it down, I said to myself that this was my favourite novel. Looking back, I think I'd have to put it joint top with It. *Pet* *Sematary* coming in third. Honourable mentions: *The* *Green* *Mile* *The* *Long* *Walk* (found as a novel itself, or in the *Bachman* *Books* ) *Misery* *The* *Dark* *Half* *The* *Shining* *Salem's* *Lot* *The* *Dead* *Zone* *The* *Tommyknockers* *Gerald's* *Game* (but stop reading when the font changes at the end - it's a waste of 100 pages) And read the short story collection *Night* *Shift* for 'The Last Rung on the Ladder'. I envy you the enjoyment you have before you!

He has a distinct way of storytelling. I read Pet Sematary way, waaaay back but I still remember how it scared the hell out of me while I was reading it. The Green Mile, however, gave me all the feels. I just. Ugh. Both books were so good! I am planning to read It before the movie sequel comes out.
