Just plain creepy! I saw the movie way back not too long after it came out, but i have never read the Stephen King novel...our local theater group is bandying about the idea of possibly producing this play adaptation in the future so i thought i'd reconnect with the story.....wow. I twice wanted to stop reading because i was so unnerved by what i knew was bound to happen next.....and what a wonderful thing to do to an audience.....get them so involved that they have no choice but to become uncomfortable with the horror of the story line. Cannot tell you how like the book it is, and frankly, i do not really care. It is a winner......a creepy winner!

- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)After the sales of Misery's Return I never need to write again, and to be quite honest, I'm not sure I will. But if I do, well, I've got a wonderful non-fiction idea.
