The audiobook "Misery" from Stephen King tells the story of writer Paul Sheldon, who, after a car accident, ends up in the house of his devoted fan, Annie Wilkes. At first, she takes care of him, but it soon becomes clear that her attachment to him is painful and dangerous. When Annie discovers that Paul intends to write a new novel, she demands that he write a sequel to her favorite book, and any attempts by Paul to leave her house lead to threats and violence.

King masterfully creates an atmosphere of increasing horror and tension, exploring themes of addiction, psychopathology and fear. "Misery" immerses the listener in a world of manipulation and fear, questioning the boundaries of reality and fiction. This piece is a prime example of King's skill in creating psychological tension and exploring the dark aspects of human nature.
