Stephen King’s 1987 psychological thriller is set to be reissued as limited editions with help from artist Rick Berry.
Inspired by moments in his own life where fans have been unhappy with his work- King wrote his protagonist, Paul Sheldon, as a writer famous for Victorian-era romance novels. After a nasty car crash the author is rescued by crazed fan Annie Wilkes, who takes him to her house and forces him to write a new book in order to modify the story to her own tastes.
The reissue of the novel will be music to King’s fans’ ears, giving them an opportunity to own something truly special.
Kathy Bates and James Caan star in the movie adaptation
