Examining Toxic Fandom in Stephen King’s “Misery” (1987 novel)

Stephen King’s Misery is a multi-faceted metaphor for both
addiction and toxic fandom, but it’s also a brutal thriller from
start to finish. In episode 297, Join Luke Elliott & James
Bailey as they uncover the secrets of Annie Wilkes, ask if Paul
Sheldon is a King self-insert, take a hard look at the novel’s
themes as they come into question at the end, and react to one of
the most harrowing scenes they’ve encountered yet. Join them next
week for their review of the film by Rob Reiner!
