Bodies of Horror: Episode 38 - Misery (1990)

Nichole is diving back into Stephen King this episode and talking about Rob Reiner’s 1990 Misery – specifically the character of Paul Sheldon and his experiences in relying on a stranger to live and the aftermath of torture. She don’t go too heavy into the background of King’s books but below are a few phenomenal resources to itch that particular scratch.

> The Loser’s Club is a favorite podcasts related to Stephen King – wonderfully deep and thoughtful dives into King’s work and all things related. They have two episodes dedicated to Misery – one for King’s 1987 book and for Reiner’s film – from January 2019 that would be excellent places to start!
