Paul Sheldon is a best-selling novelist who has finally met his biggest fan, Annie Wilkes. She is also Paul's nurse, tending his shattered body after an automobile accident. She also keeps him a prisoner in her isolated house. Her price for his freedom? She wants Paul to write his greatest work---just for her. And if he doesn't do as she asks, she has a needle...and...an ax. And if they don't work she can get really nasty.
