Revival

Summary

Jamie Morton is ecstatic when Charles Jacobs, a new Methodist pastor, arrives in town. Almost everyone in the little Maine community falls in love with Jacobs, his lovely wife, and their young boy. 

Jacobs leads weekly Ministry Youth Fellowship meetings for the children of the community, where he discusses his interest in electricity and innovations with them, his wife performs music for them, and they play with his little son Morrie (although Jamie is clearly favored over all the other children by Jacobs). 

When Jamie's elder brother, Conrad, better known as "Con," is injured in a skiing accident, rendering him unable to talk and creating family hardship owing to the high expense of care, Jacobs urges Jamie to bring him over as he may be able to assist him. 

When Jamie and his elder sister Claire accomplish this, Jacobs wraps a low-voltage belt around Con's neck, and to everyone's surprise, Con is able to talk almost immediately.

Mrs. Jacobs and her kid are killed in a horrific car accident, and everything changes all too quickly. 

Bereaved, the reverend denounces God and religion during a sermon and is expelled from the town. 

Jamie, distraught that Jacobs would be leaving town, goes to visit him before he departs, thanking him for all he accomplished for Con, but Jacobs maintains it was all a placebo effect.

Jamie grows up to be a musician and begins to use heroin. His band abandoned him at a hotel when he was on tour after he missed many of their shows due to his addiction. 

He goes to the hotel desk to pay for another night, but his credit card is already maxed out. That night, he travels to a state fair in quest of drugs but instead discovers Charles Jacobs playing "Portraits in Lightning" in front of a big audience. 

Jacobs gets Cathy Morse, a young lady, to volunteer for the performance, in which she sits in a chair blindfolded while he photographs her, and after a blue burst of light flashes all across the theater, an image of her emerges on a plate. 

He then offers to do the same for anyone else for a fee. Jacobs recognizes Jamie in the crowd right away, and Jamie quickly falls out and wakes up in Jacobs' camper van, where he offers to "cure" Jamie's ailment with a modest application of electricity when he is healthy enough. 

Jamie experienced bizarre side effects after treatment, including sleepwalking and jabbing himself in the arm with sharp objects while in a dreamlike state as if attempting to inject heroin. 

Jacobs is subsequently assaulted by Cathy Morse's father when he claims Jacob's image inspired her to attempt to steal a set of diamond earrings from a jeweler, which resulted in her incarceration. 

Before Jacobs leaves town again, he sends Jamie to Hugh Yates, who hires him at a music recording studio.

Many years later, Yates summons Jamie to his office and they discuss their experiences with Jacobs' treatments and the consequences of them (Yates had been cured of Ménière's disease many years before and had suffered blackouts and visions he calls "prismatics" where he could see colors shifting back and forth and felt like he could see into another world shortly after being treated). 

Yates shows Jamie a banner from a website where Jacobs is holding revival tours using electricity (despite appearing to be a faith healer, utilizing God's power to cure people), and they go to one of his performances, but Yates immediately departs. 

When Jamie asks him what occurred, he claims that for the first time in a long time, he had a "prismatic" experience while Jacobs was curing people, in which he saw the people as huge ants.

Jamie begins to investigate the many people Jacobs has treated. Many of them, it turns out, have had similar negative effects, and some have even murdered themselves and others as a result (including Cathy Morse who recently took her own life). 

He eventually learns that Jacobs has been reading esoteric works such as De Vermis Mysteriis. 

Jamie hunts down Jacobs and visits his home to confront him about his treatments and to inform him about the side effects that the individuals he is helping have been suffering. 

But to his surprise, Jacobs has been keeping track of them all along and claims that only a small number of people have significant aftereffects and that he is no longer healing people. 

Jacobs offers to make Jamie his assistant and pay him much more than Yates does, but Jamie declines and goes.

Several years later, Jamie receives a letter from Jacobs, which includes a letter written by his childhood girlfriend Astrid to Jacobs, stating she has a terminal illness. 

Jacobs promises to treat her, but only if Jamie agrees to be his personal assistant for one more experiment. Jamie agrees hesitantly, and Astrid is cured.

Jamie assists Jacobs in preparing for his final experiment: Jacobs has found what he refers to as "hidden electricity," an all-powerful energy source that he has used to produce his miraculous cures throughout the years. 

He now plans to channel a large rush of this energy through a lightning rod into a terminally ill woman called Mary Fay, whom he has transferred to his lab. 

Jacobs aims to resurrect Mary Fay after her death, not in the traditional sense, but in the sense that she will be clinically dead but able to interact with Jacobs and inform him about the afterlife and what happened to his wife and child after they died.

The experiment is successful, but not in the way that Jacobs intended. The resurrected Mary Fay does become a portal to the afterlife, but, much to Jacobs and Jamie's chagrin; there is no Heaven and no reward for faith. 

Instead, the afterlife is revealed to be "The Null," a horrible world of disorder where departed souls are tormented by Ant creatures who serve crazy, Lovecraftian deities, the most powerful of which is known as "Mother." 

As "she" possesses a claw formed of human faces, it is inferred that victims are fed to Mother. 

Mother takes over Mary Fay's body, changing her into a monstrous creature, and tries to murder Jacobs. 

Jamie shoots Mother with Jacobs' revolver and she flees the scene, leaving Mary's body behind. 

A terrified Jacobs has a deadly stroke, and Jamie arranges his corpse to appear as though he shot Mary. Jamie runs away from the situation and relocates to Hawaii.

Several of the people Jacobs treats later go insane and murder themselves and others, including Hugh Yates and Astrid, who murders both her lover and herself. 

Jamie, one of Jacobs' few survivors, is forced to rely extensively on pharmaceuticals. He tells a psychiatrist about his vision of The Null, but he is dismissed. 

He admits and finds solace in the idea that the visions were "false." but the novel ends with Jamie going to visit his brother Con, who has spent the last two years in a psychiatric hospital after attacking his partner (which Jamie blames on Jacobs's treatment of Con's injury decades before), but as he goes to leave, he sees a door calling his name and ignores it, but realizes that one day he would die and be confined in The Null under Mother's tyranny.

From a Buick 8

Summary

The story is told through the eyes of men of Troop D, a Pennsylvania State Police barracks in Western Pennsylvania. 

After the death of Curtis Wilcox, a well-liked member of Troop D, his son Ned began to visit the barracks. He immediately gains the respect of the officers, dispatcher, and custodian. 

Ned is informed about the "Buick 8" by the troopers. The Buick 8, which looks like a vintage blue 1953 Buick Roadmaster, has been in storage in a shed near the barracks since 1979 when a mysterious driver abandoned it at a petrol station and then vanished. 

They learn that the automobile isn't really a car at all. The steering wheel is immovable, the dashboard instruments are worthless props, the engine has no moving components, the ignition wires are useless, there are four portholes on the passenger side and only three on the driver's side, the automobile heals itself when injured, and it repels all dirt and debris.

Sandy Dearborn, now Sergeant Commanding of Troop D, is the book's major narrator, and he recounts Ned the narrative, recounting numerous events involving the automobile and his father's love for it. 

The automobile will regularly emit "lightquakes," which are enormous flashes of purple light that last for a long time. 

These lights will "give birth" to bizarre flora and creatures that are unlike anything we've ever seen. 

Curtis Wilcox's previous accomplice Ennis Rafferty, as well as an escaped lowlife called Brian Lippy, had both vanished near the automobile. 

Later on, it was theorized that the Buick may have been a doorway between our world and another.

Ned becomes persuaded that the Buick was somehow connected to his father's death in a seemingly random road accident after hearing the story of the Buick and how it was kept hidden by Troop D for so long. 

After all, the gas station employee who originally reported the Buick parked in front of the business was the same guy who would kill his own father years later. 

Sandy tells him not to become too attached to the Buick ("Buicks are everywhere," he later warns), but after leaving Ned at the Troop D base to eat at a diner, he recalls that Ned never inquired if anybody had considered burning it. 

He deduces that Ned is hell-bent on destroying the Buick and that the Buick intends to take advantage of that desire to transport Ned to another universe.

Sandy goes to the shed to discover Ned seated in it, brandishing a gun and a match, having poured gasoline beneath the car. 

The Buick changes into a vortex as Sandy drags Ned out, attempting to suck both Ned and Sandy within. 

The remainder of the crew arrives on the suspicion that something horrible is about to happen, and together they recollect the narrative of the Buick's genesis at their station, freeing Ned and Sandy, but not before Sandy gets a sight of the world outside the Buick. Lippy's swastika necklace and cowboy boots, as well as Ennis' Stetson hat and Ruger revolver, are all visible.

The last anecdote is recounted, suggesting that the idea of destroying the Buick was explored. 

They eventually reach the conclusion that the Buick serves as a type of world-to-world regulator valve, and that eliminating it would do more harm than good. 

They determine that keeping an eye on the Buick is the safest option, in the hopes that whatever mystical force qualities it carries will soon go away.

Eddie J commits suicide, and Ned goes on to become a State Trooper. Ned shows Sandy the Buick one day; the windshield has a break in it that has not been mended.

Dreamcatcher

Summary

Dreamcatcher is the story of four longtime friends: Gary "Jonesy" Jones, Pete Moore, Joe "Beaver" Clarendon, and Henry Devlin. 

It is set in the fictional town of Derry, Maine. The four defended Douglas "Duddits" Cavell, an older lad with down syndrome, from a gang of vicious bullies when they were adolescents. 

Jonesy, Beaver, Henry, and Pete began to share the boy's unique talents, such as telepathy, shared dreaming, and seeing "the line," a psychic trail left by human movement, as a result of their new connection with Duddits.

Jonesy, Beaver, Henry, and Pete gather for their yearly hunting expedition at the Hole-in-the-Wall, a remote lodge in the Jefferson Tract. 

They are sandwiched between an extraterrestrial invasion and a deranged retired US Air Force Colonel named Abraham Kurtz. 

Jonesy and Beaver, who are staying at the cabin while Henry and Pete go out for supplies, come upon Richard McCarthy, a bewildered and delirious stranger who is roaming around the lodge during a blizzard and raving about lights in the sky. 

McCarthy, a victim of alien abduction, becomes ill and dies while sitting on the toilet. After gestating in his gut, an alien parasite chews its way out of his anus and assaults the two guys, killing Beaver. 

Jonesy inhales the spores of the weird reddish fungus distributed throughout the cabin by the stranger and his parasite, and an extraterrestrial creature "Mr. Gray" takes over his consciousness.

Henry and Pete come across a woman from the same hunting group as the weird man at the cabin on their way back from their supply run. 

She is also crazy and parasitically afflicted. After their car crashes, Henry abandons Pete with the lady and attempts to return to the lodge on foot. 

His telepathic senses then alerted him to the fact that Pete is in jeopardy, Beaver is dead, and Jonesy is no longer Jonesy. 

Mr. Gray is attempting to flee the place while influencing Jonesy's body. The aliens attempted to infect Earth several times, beginning with the Roswell accident in the 1940s, but environmental reasons always prevented them, and the US government always covered up the unsuccessful invasion attempts. 

Mr. Gray has become the perfect Typhoid Mary—and he knows it—with the infection of Jonesy, who can hold the alien within his head while also spreading the illness. 

Mr. Gray hijacks a vehicle carrying a spore-filled extraterrestrial body, and Jonesy, who is confined inside a mental fortress, is unable to stop him.

It is up to Henry, who is now a quarantined Army prisoner, to persuade the military to go after Jonesy/Mr. Gray before it is too late. 

Jonesy, who is now a prisoner in his own head, attempts to assist. Both are persuaded that their old pal Duddits holds the answer to save the planet. 

Using telepathic abilities garnered from the alien fungus, Henry informs Army commander Owen Underhill of Kurtz's intention to kill the majority of Army men in order to preserve secret. 

The two stage an escape by instigating a disturbance among the other convicts and damaging the base in the process. 

An angry Kurtz, together with his followers Freddy and Perlmutter, pursues the duo as they flee. 

Despite his own reluctance and agony, Perlmutter gets infected with a psychic parasite and is being used to seek out Owen and Mr. Gray.

Owen and Henry accompany Jonesy/Mr. Gray to Derry, Maine, and share childhood recollections along the journey, including a time when Duddits and his buddies searched for a missing girl. 

Henry and Owen get together to help Duddits, who is suffering from leukemia. Following a tearful departure with Duddits' mother, the trio uses Duddits' abilities to track Jonesy/Mr. Gray southward to Quabbin Reservoir. 

Mr. Gray aims to infect the local water supply with a parasite-affected dog he infected with the spores. 

Jonesy is able to significantly impede Mr. Gray's growth by inducing the presence to seek bacon, which it consumes uncooked after procuring it from a convenience shop. 

Jonesy's body is considerably sickened by the raw meat, allowing the trio just enough time to catch up and face Mr. Gray at the reservoir.

Using the last of his abilities, Duddits assists Henry and Jonesy in psychologically defeating Mr. Gray, as well as assisting Owen in shooting the parasite that erupts from the dog. 

Duddits dies as a result of the endeavor, but he has stopped Mr. Gray's ambitions. Kurtz and his men arrive, the infected soldier still in their van. 

They ambush and murder Owen, but Kurtz is killed by Freddy, who is afraid Kurtz would kill him next. 

Freddy runs, returning to their truck, but is murdered by the parasite that was developing within Perlmutter's now-dead body. 

Exhausted and half-crazy, Henry shoots the car's gas tank, killing the last of the extraterrestrial presence on Earth. He re-encounters Jonesy, who collapses from weariness.

Jonesy and Henry reminisce about their time in an underground military complex where they were detained after the events at the reservoir months later. 

Jonesy was resistant to the alien fungus the entire time, and Mr. Gray was only able to take over his mind because he imagined it could - the concept being captured like in a dreamcatcher.

Gerald's Game

Summary

Jessie Angela Mahout Burlingame and her successful and confrontational lawyer husband Gerald go from Portland to their isolated lake cottage near Kashwakamak Lake in western Maine for an unplanned love holiday. 

Handcuffing Jessie to bed for lovemaking, a recent addition to their marriage that both parties find exhilarating is the title game. 

However, after being shackled to bedposts, Jessie becomes hesitant and wants to be released, only to be disregarded by Gerald, who dismisses her complaints as part of their game. 

Jessie strikes out; kicking Gerald in the chest, after realizing her husband is acting ignorant in order to rape her. 

He had a deadly heart attack as a result of the shock. He passes away, leaving Jessie tied to her bed.

Jessie is initially shocked by her husband's death and fears being found semi-naked and handcuffed, but she soon realizes the situation is far direr: she and Gerald are unlikely to be noticed for several days, no one will think to look for them at the lake house, and all of the usual lake residents have left for the season. Jessie's life is in jeopardy if she does not manage to flee.

While Jessie furiously examines and dismisses plans, she hears whispers from The Goodwife or Goody Burlingame, a Traditionalist version of herself, who hinders her escape efforts by saying that everything would be great and that she should wait to be rescued; Punkin, a depiction of Jessie when she was ten years old. 

Jessie abandoned Ruth Neary, a college roommate, after a conversation that came perilously near to revealing Jessie's background, and Nora, Jessie's former psychotherapist, after Nora questioned Jessie's connection with her father. 

Following the guidance of these voices, Jessie understands that "Goody's" counsel to wait for rescue is based on a subconscious notion that she deserves to be imprisoned in this circumstance, even if it means death. 

When Jessie investigates the source of this self-destructive idea, she recalls a long-repressed memory of her father sexually abusing her when she was ten years old during a solar eclipse. 

Jessie's father duped her into believing she was guilty, leaving her with feelings of shame and remorse for the rest of her life. 

In the aftermath of the assault, Jessie recalls an unexplainable episode in which she had a brief telepathic connection with an unknown woman. 

Jessie's recollections prompt her to reflect on how unpleasant and controlling her marriage to Gerald was, causing her to believe she sacrificed her independence and fearlessness for the security of becoming Gerald's trophy wife.

When Jessie awakens from an imaginative battle with all of these people in a dark bedroom, she sees a tall, gaunt ghost that she initially misidentifies as the spirit of her long-dead father and calls "Space Cowboy" after a lyric from a Steve Miller song, "The Joker." 

The depiction depicts her holding a wicker basket filled with jewels and human bones. Unsure if the figure is a hallucination, Jessie rejects it, remarking loudly that it is just made of moonlight, which causes it to vanish. 

Her inner voices, on the other hand, believe the figure is genuine and will return to kill Jessie if she does not flee before the next night.

Jessie has a drink of water from a glass on the bedside table the next morning. Refreshed and encouraged by her own resourcefulness in obtaining the water, she renews her attempts to flee, first by attempting to break the headboard, then by attempting to slip off the bed and push it to the bureau where the keys are kept. 

Jessie smashes the water glass and slices her wrist with a sharp shard to lubricate her flesh enough to get her right hand free from the cuff. 

Inspired by her father's warning to her not to cut herself on the smoked glass panes they used as eclipse viewers during the eclipse. 

She is then able to get out of bed, reach for the keys, and release her other hand, only to pass out from blood loss. 

When she wakes up, it's nearly dark, and the Space Cowboy, who is now definitely real, has returned. 

Jessie tosses her wedding ring at his box of jewelry and bones, convinced that this is exactly what he desired all along. 

She approaches her car, still dizzy and weak from blood loss, and drives away, only to discover the Space Cowboy concealed in the back seat. Jessie is involved in a car accident and is knocked out.

Jessie is still recovering from her tragedy months later. An attorney at Gerald's legal office supports her in covering up the incident in order to shield herself and the law company from controversy, but Jessie believes this is another kind of burying her pain, just as she did years before with her childhood abuse. 

To set herself free, Jessie writes to the actual Ruth, whom she hasn't talked to in decades, outlining what happened at the lake home and following events. 

The "Space Cowboy" was Raymond Andrew Joubert, a serial murderer, and necrophile who had been living in and plundering lake cottages in the region. 

At Joubert's court appearance, Jessie approached him, and Joubert mocked her "made of moonlight" assertion, acknowledging that the encounter had occurred and prompting Jessie to spit in his face. 

Being able to address the guy who had formerly scared her helped her to confront the other manipulative men in her life, including her father and Gerald, freeing her of fear and helping her to cope with her past more honestly. 

She apologizes for abandoning Ruth, admitting that Ruth faced her with a truth she was unable to accept at the time, and hopes they may rekindle their relationship. 

Jessie is able to sleep without nightmares for the first time since her trauma at the lake home after writing the letter.

Bag of Bones

Summary

After his pregnant wife Jo dies abruptly of a brain aneurysm, the narrator Mike Noonan, a successful author, suffers from major writer's block. 

Mike is troubled by nightmares set in his vacation cottage in TR-90 (an unincorporated town called after its map coordinates), Maine, four years later, still grieving. 

He chooses to face his worries and relocates to "Sara Laughs," his holiday home on Dark Score Lake.

He meets Kyra, a 3-year-old daughter, and her young widowed mother, Mattie Devore, 20, on his first day. 

Max Devore, Mattie's father-in-law, is an aging wealthy man who would go to any length to acquire custody of his granddaughter, Kyra. 

Mike employs John Storrow, a custody lawyer, for Mattie because he is drawn to Kyra and Mattie. 

Mike picks up his pen again, and he learns that Jo's spirit is assisting him in solving the mystery of Sara Tidwell, a blues singer who haunts the mansion. 

He also discovers that in the year leading up to her death, Jo visited the town regularly without telling him.

Mike starts having unsettling nightmares and visions and feels he and Kyra have a psychic connection. 

Mike lives thanks to the aid of his wife's ghost, which Max and his personal assistant, Rogette, attempted to drown. 

That same night, Max unintentionally commits suicide. Mike notices a trend when he notices that local residents' names begin with "K" or "C" and learns about relatives who drowned as children.

Mattie tries to seduce Mike as Storrow and the private detective he hired are celebrating the end of the custody fight. 

While they are hugging, a drive-by shooting occurs in Mattie's trailer, wounding Storrow and the detective and murdering Mattie. 

With Mike's assistance, the detective is able to murder the driver and incapacitate the gunman. 

As a heavy rainstorm hits, Mike snatches Kyra and drives back to his house. The shooter's friends try to intervene, but they refuse to accompany him to "Sara Laughs." 

Mike is tortured by Sara's spirit and feels compelled to drown Kyra and commit suicide. Jo's spirit intervenes and draws his attention to the manuscript he is working on. 

There are clues in the papers that lead Mike to records Jo had buried, including a genealogy that shows Mike's family connection to one of the local families.

Several families with roots in the area had firstborn children named "K" who were all killed; Kyra, a descendent of Max Devore, is the next in line to die. 

Mike and Jo's kid would have been the next firstborn child in the family line with a "K" name, according to the genealogy. 

Mike knows that this is Sara Tidwell's curse as a result of whatever that happened to her. 

He departs in quest of Sara's tomb but is interrupted by the spirits of various elderly families. 

In a vision, he learns that these guys raped and murdered Sara and drowned her son Kito in the lake; all of the "K" children who perished were their descendants. 

Mike arrives at Sara's grave and destroys her bones, putting an end to the curse. When Mike returns home, he sees that Rogette has kidnapped Kyra. 

He pursues them to the lake, where Rogette is knocked into the water by Mattie's spirit. Rogette tries to drag Mike in with her, but the storm's wreckage from the dock catches her. Mattie's spirit bids Mike and Kyra farewell.

Mike has retired from writing and is hoping to adopt Kyra, according to the novel's epilogue. 

Because he is a single, unrelated man, things are more complicated, and the adoption has taken longer than expected. 

The adoption's fate is left uncertain at the conclusion, although the reader is encouraged to believe it will be good.

Desperation

Summary

Peter and Mary Jackson are traveling peacefully on a barren Nevada roadway when the agitated Collie Entragian pulls them up and arrests them. 

They are transported to the police station of Desperation, a desolate tiny mining town, where Entragian murders Peter. 

The Carver family, whose daughter was also slain by Entragian; Johnny Marinville, a writer on a cross-country motorcycle journey to seek fresh work; and Tom Billingsley, the local veterinarian, are also kept hostage. 

Meanwhile, Johnny's aide Steve, who had been following him from afar, discovers Johnny's bike and goes in pursuit of him with Cynthia, a hitchhiker. 

Entragian takes Ellen Carver with him, and while he is gone, the deeply religious Carver's son, David, manages to liberate everyone and is hired as a spiritual leader by the party.            

They seek safety in an abandoned theater, where they are joined by mine employees Steve, Cynthia, and Audrey. 

They find they are the only ones who have survived a wave of destruction unleashed by an evil supernatural creature known as Tak. 

Tak was imprisoned in an abandoned mine shaft and has the ability to take control of humans, but this state soon degrades the host and forces it to shift hosts. 

Tak also has the ability to control desert animals such as coyotes, buzzards, spiders, and scorpions. 

Tak's cougar kills Billingsley, and Audrey, who is also under its spell, tries to murder David. She comes close to strangling him but is stopped by Steve and Johnny's intervention. Tak snatches Ellen's corpse and imprisons Mary.

The survivors consider leaving town, but David, who has awakened from a trance, informs them that God has other plans for them. 

Mary takes advantage of Ellen's increasing decline to flee her, and after Ellen dies, Tak assumes the form of a golden eagle. 

Tak escaped from a well, so the party gathers some ANFO to blow it up. Tak assaults David but murders his selfless father Ralph. 

Johnny saves the now-orphaned David from committing suicide by blowing up the well and locking Tak within. 

David, Mary, Steve, and Cynthia begin to flee Desperation. While in Mary's car, David discovers in his pocket the hall pass from his earlier "deal with God," complete with a note from Johnny.

Summary

Paul Sheldon, an author of the best-selling Misery Chastain series of Victorian-era romance novels, has completed the series' last book, Misery's Child, in which Misery is murdered off. 

Paul gets drunk and drives his '74 Camaro to Los Angeles instead of flying back to New York City after finishing the manuscript for his new crime book, Fast Cars, which he believes will get significant literary praise and jumpstart his post-Misery career. 

In the small, isolated community of Sidewinder, Colorado, he is stranded in a snowstorm and wrecks his automobile.

When he wakes up, he discovers that he has been saved by Annie Wilkes, a local former nurse who is a die-hard Misery fan. 

Despite his shattered legs, she keeps Paul in her guest bedroom and nurses him herself with her clandestine supply of codeine-based medications. Paul becomes hooked to Novril, a drug Annie withholds from him in order to threaten and manipulate him. 

She starts reading Misery's Child, which was just released and coerces permission to read the Fast Cars manuscript, but she doesn't like the deeper subject matter or language. 

Annie's mental instability is quickly identified by Paul, who notes that she is prone to catatonic spells and has abrupt, unpredictable fury outbursts. 

When she discovers about Misery's death, she abandons Paul in her home for more than two days, denying him food, drink, and painkillers. During this period, Paul checks his legs to determine the extent of the damage and discovers that they were crushed and disfigured in the accident.

When Annie returns, she pushes a frail Paul to burn the Fast Cars book in exchange for painkillers. 

Annie sets up an office for Paul, complete with an antiquated Royal typewriter with a non-functional N-key, writing paper, and a wheelchair, in order to create a new Misery novel that would resurrect the character. 

Paul writes a new novel, Misery's Return while biding his time and comparing himself to Scheherazade. 

He enables Annie to read the work in progress and fill in the missing N's. The text contains fragments from Misery's Return, a horrifying scenario in which it is discovered that Misery was buried alive while unconscious, as Paul writes.

Paul uses his wheelchair to exit his room multiple times, hunting for more medications and touring the property. He finds a scrapbook full of newspaper clippings revealing Annie to be a serial killer; her victims include a neighboring family, her own father, and many elderly or critically injured patients and 11 infants while she worked as a head nurse, the last of whom resulted in her standing trial but acquittal in Denver. 

Annie announces that she has noticed Paul leaving his room and punishes him by chopping off his foot with an axe and cauterizing his ankle with a blowtorch, thus "hobbling" him. 

Months pass, and Annie slices off Paul's thumb with an electric knife when he complains that additional typewriter keys, including the "t" and "e," have broken and refuses to tell Annie how the story ends until he has written it.

Annie kills a state policeman by driving him over with her riding lawnmower when he comes to Annie's residence looking for Paul. The remains are hidden by Annie, but the trooper's disappearance catches the attention of police enforcement and the media. 

Annie moves Paul to the basement and makes it clear that she will not allow him to reside there. 

After finishing Misery's Return, Paul sets fire to a dummy copy of the text, which Annie tries to salvage. Paul tosses the typewriter at Annie and begins a furious struggle with her, exiting the room and locking the door with Annie still inside. 

When the police arrive in pursuit of the slain soldier, Paul hides and warns them. Annie is discovered dead in the barn, probably having escaped through a window on her way to murder Paul with a chainsaw.

Misery's Return is intended to be published when Paul returns to New York, and it becomes a worldwide bestseller owing to curiosity in the conditions in which it was written. 

The notion that Paul publish a factual account of his own experiences is met with resistance. 

He can walk with a prosthetic, but he still has flashbacks about Annie, painkiller withdrawal, drunkenness, and writer's block. 

Paul weeps both for his destroyed life and for the delight of being able to write again when he gets spontaneous inspiration to create a new novel.

End of Watch

Summary

Bill Hodges, a retired detective who now owns the private investigative firm Finders Keepers with his sidekick Holly, is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. 

With only a few months to live, he finds himself sucked into a recent suicide spree. All of the deceased have one thing in common: they were all in contact with mass murderer Brady Hartsfield, the infamous Mr. Mercedes who, six years ago, intended a follow-up mass murder by blowing up a rock concert venue crowded with youngsters. 

Brady's ambitions were foiled by Hodges and Holly, who put him in a coma and he never recovered consciousness. 

Many staff members at the hospital where Brady is now being treated say that he is recuperating at an unbelievable rate and that he may be faking his injuries to evade prosecution for his crimes. Meanwhile, all individuals who have come near to establishing this notion appear to have committed suicide.

Brady discovered himself obtaining new skills after his head injury, including the capacity to maneuver small things with his thoughts and the ability to enter the bodies of specific persons vulnerable to his mental dominance. 

Brady, who is still in a hospital bed, has utilized his power to complete his homicidal task by developing a hypnotic video game software that increases the user's vulnerability. Once the users are under Brady's influence, he utilizes the software to manipulate their brains and encourage them to commit suicide. 

The teens who avoided death when Brady's plot to demolish the music venue failed are the targets. 

Brady's ultimate purpose, on the other hand, is to entice Hodges into the game and exact retribution. 

Brady employs the bodies of a corrupt neurosurgeon and a hospital librarian as puppets and red herrings to perform his dirty work and misdirect the police while making his last attempt to kill Hodges, all the while ignorant that Hodges is already racing against the clock towards his own death.

Finders Keepers

Summary

Morris Bellamy, a small crook, breaks into the home of John Rothstein, a retired novelist famed for his Jimmy Gold Runner series, who had been living a secluded existence but continued to write in secret with two of his friends, in 1978. 

They assaulted him and demanded to know where he kept his money. Despite Rothstein's best efforts to deceive them by claiming that he only stores tiny sums of cash at his home, they discover his safe and compel him to provide the combination, which shows a modest fortune in cash and a significant number of notebooks. 

Morris encourages the others to grab everything while Rothstein appeals to them and assures them they may keep the cash as long as they leave the notebooks.

Rothstein proceeds to taunt Morris, and then murders him, much to the chagrin of the others. As they drive away, they come to a secluded rest stop, and Morris instructs them to pull over. Morris murders both of them and drives to his estranged mother's house, who is now gone for the semester, instructing history.

Morris goes to meet an old friend Andrew "Andy" Halliday the next morning to show him the journals, and Andy instantly confronts him about what he has done. 

When Morris asks how long he should wait until they can start selling the notebooks to private collectors, Andy instructs him to wait till the turn of the century, conceal the notebooks, and keep away from him in the interim, or he would contact the cops. 

Morris buries the cash and notebooks in a trunk behind a tree adjacent to a creek behind the home that night, then goes to a pub. He awakens in a detention cell with no recollection of what occurred and wonders whether he was jailed for the killings of Rothstein and his friends, but subsequently learns that he viciously attacked and raped a lady while intoxicated.

Morris pleads guilty in the hopes of receiving a lesser term but is sentenced to life in prison. His parole hearings are always denied because she shows up and tells the board how she is still suffering from what occurred, until in 2014, when she writes to the board indicating she has terminal cancer and no longer has any objections to his parole.

In 2010, Pete Saubers, who is now living in Morris Bellamy's family house, is struggling at home with his parents always bickering over money because his father is no longer working and has continuous physiotherapy treatments owing to being injured in the Mercedes Massacre two years ago. 

Pete left the home and went down the back way towards the stream while his parents were shouting. He notices the trunk hidden beneath the tree's roots while sitting on a log beside the creek. 

Pete then pretends to be unwell in order to gain a day off school and returns to the tree with a spade to dig into the trunk, where he discovers the cash and notebooks. 

Over the following few years, he begins discreetly delivering envelopes to his parents with $500 in them every month, and their lives improve dramatically, and his father is eventually able to find a position in a real estate business. 

He also begins reading the journals and develops an interest in the Jimmy Gold figure. 

When he investigates the author of the journals, he discovers that he was killed and that the crime was never solved, but he believes that because it has been so long since it occurred, the perpetrator is probably surely dead or in prison for life.

After a few years, the money Pete has been sending to his parents runs out, and he considers selling some of the journals. He approaches his favorite instructor, Mr. Ricker, and informs him that he has the first edition of a Rothstein book that he wishes to sell. 

Pete gives him a list of booksellers, including Andrew Halliday, and asks him which one would be best, and Mr. Ricker tells him to avoid Halliday since he has a reputation for selling stolen goods.

Pete travels to Halliday's store under a false name, presenting him scanned images of several of Rothstein's notebook pages. 

Halliday, who is badly in debt, quickly recognizes them and asks him to bring them the next time he arrives, knowing they are worth a fortune. 

Halliday discovers Pete's true name, and the next time Pete sees him, he blackmails him, threatening to expose him to the police unless he gives him the journals. Pete then returns home and conceals the journals in the basement of a property his father is presently selling that was previously a leisure center.

Pete's sister Tina, who has long doubted Pete of sending the money, senses Pete's recent discomfort and goes to her friend Barbara, Jerome's younger sister and Brady Hartsfield survivor, who sends her to Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney. 

She informs them that she believes her brother took the money to assist their parents. Hodges and Holly, on the other hand, are more certain that he discovered it and got himself into trouble as a result.

Unknown to Halliday, Morris had lately been paroled and discovered the empty trunk; he accuses Halliday of taking the notebooks because he was the only one who knew about them. 

Morris comes to Halliday's business with an axe and threatens to murder him if he doesn't tell him where the notebooks are, but he kills him anyway after learning about Pete.

Hodges waits outside the school for Pete and interrogates him, but he refuses to answer any of his inquiries. They pursue him, but he manages to elude them. 

He rushes to Halliday's shop to inform him that he will not be delivering him notebooks but instead finds Morris waiting for him and narrowly escapes. 

Pete eventually phones Hodges for assistance, and they begin driving towards his house. 

Morris then shoots Linda, Pete's mother, and kidnaps Tina. He drives her to the leisure center, unaware that the notebooks are stashed there, and contacts Pete, instructing him to call him once he gets the notebooks. 

Pete rushes to the leisure center to get them, but when he sees Morris there with Tina, he tosses the notebooks on the floor, pours lighter fluid on them, and threatens to drop his lighter on them if Tina doesn't leave. 

When Hodges, Holly, and Jerome get to Pete's residence, they find his critically injured mother, who informs them of Pete's whereabouts. Hodges and Jerome head to the leisure center, while Holly remains with Linda. 

When Hodges arrives at the leisure center and discovers Morris at the basement steps, he throws a pair of shoes to distract him before tackling him, causing Pete to jerk and drop the lighter, igniting the notebooks. 

Morris hurries to the notebooks to attempt to preserve them, but he perishes in the fire. Tina, Pete, and Hodges escape via the basement window with the assistance of Jerome.

The story concludes with Hodges visiting Brady Hartsfield in the hospital, where a photograph of Hartsfield and his mother suddenly falls down while he is there. 

After Hodges has left, the tap turns on and then off, and the image collapses once more.

The Mauritius Command Summary

Summary

Jack Aubrey and Sophia Williams are married and have twin daughters. They reside in Ashgrove Cottage on his half-pay, which is insufficient to support the household's other navy men. Sophia's mother has lost all of her money, including Sophia's share, and is now living with them. Cecelia, Sophia's little niece, lives with them as well.

Aubrey, as much as he adores Sophia, is eager to return to the sea. Stephen Maturin comes to call, and Aubrey's instructions are brought from the port Admiral soon after. He is assigned command of the HMS Boadicea, a 38-gun frigate.

He picks up orders and Mr. R T Farquhar, a political gentleman, in Plymouth. He's supposed to cruise to Cape Town, where a convoy of ships will gather. They encounter the French ship Hébé, which is escorting a seized merchant ship, not far from home. Both ships are captured by the Boadicea. Aubrey arranges for the rewards to be sent to Gibraltar.

The timely capture enables the ship to send messages home, get a French chef, and obtain the Hébé's English captives, all of whom are capable seamen. The extended cruise across the Atlantic allows Aubrey to train the crew of the Boadicea to his gunnery standards, as well as Maturin and Farquhar to formulate plans.

Aubrey meets Admiral Bertie upon his arrival, who confirms his title as Commodore and authorizes him to raise his broad pendant ('broad pennant' in certain versions). He is given official orders to disrupt French interests in the region, with the goal of capturing Mauritius and La Réunion in the end. Captain Corbett of Néréide, Lord Clonfert of the Otter, an Englishman with an Irish title, and Captain Pym of the Sirius are among the convoy's leaders.

With some of Aubrey's followers onboard, Corbett sailed from the West Indies post. After Aubrey switches men into Corbett's ship, Bonden, Killick, and others get aboard. Corbett is a good captain, but he's a flogger. Bertie informs Aubrey that Clonfert and Corbett are feuding.

Aubrey changes his pendant to the ancient 64-gun line ship HMS Raisonnable for the first 2,000 miles of the trip to the islands. The Caroline is captured; Corbett christens her HMS Bourbonnaise and sends her to Cape Town and England with messages. The remainder of the convoy makes its way back to Cape Town.

Aubrey returns aboard HMS Boadicea and sets sail after hearing that the French had captured several merchant ships. The convoy is trapped in a big cyclone and must return to Cape Town for repairs, where it receives its first letter in months. Due to the water damage to Sophia's letters, Aubrey is unable to comprehend her entire message.

After a landing by Army forces supported by sepoys under the British East India Company, all under the energetic and decisive Lieutenant Colonel Harry Keating, with ships of the convoy on both sides of the island, La Réunion capitulates nearly without loss. Maturin's propaganda and political gatherings help them along the way by explaining why the people should welcome the British with Farquhar as interim Governor. Mauritius proved to be more difficult.

Maturin is killed while boarding the HMS Néréide, which is part of the force dispatched to the Île de la Passe. He's badly hurt, so he keeps an eye on Clonfert while he recovers aboard. The action has been completed successfully. Maturin is assigned to Mauritius in order to continue his work. Captain Pym commands a small group of ships to land men on Mauritius to staff the fort.

Three French ships, Bellone, Minerve, and Victor, as well as two Indiamen, Ceylon and Windham, appear. They attack the fort and then sail into the harbor, catching the British off guard and deciding to attack. The battle lasts for days, with high fatalities, and two British ships eventually go aground.

Iphigenia and the fort at Île de la Passe are abandoned to be retaken by the French, while Sirius and Magicienne are burned to avoid their capture. Clonfert is gravely injured in the neck and head by a splinter, and Néréide is taken. Maturin is onboard a message ship that arrives at La Réunion to notify Aubrey of the losses and the unsuccessful attack on Port Southeast.

Boadicea sails through the night to inspect Île de la Passe for French control, and then pursues Manche and Vénus in a futile attempt to separate them. Aubrey feels his circumstances have altered after contacting Pullings, who has the guns of Windham onboard Emma. Captain Corbett then rejoins HMS Africaine at St Denis. Africaine battles with the Astrée and the French Iphigenie while chasing the French during the night.

The conflict goes horribly, and Corbett is slain in the middle of it after being wounded by his own downtrodden soldiers. When the Boadicea closes in on them, the French take the Africaine but dismast it; Astrée refuses to engage. The fleet arrives in La Réunion, joined by the Otter and Staunch, where the Commodore prioritizes the refurbishment of the Africaine.

Maturin and Bonden come from Mauritius with news that the HMS Bombay is near, engaged in combat with the French Vénus and Victor. The Boadicea has engaged the French ships. With the assistance of volunteers from the refitting HMS Africaine, Aubrey boards and takes Bombay and Vénus. During the combat, French Commodore Hamelin is killed. Once the surviving French ships have departed, Aubrey devises a strategy to end the battle, and his ships are ready to fight again when they return to Mauritius. Keating is also ready.

With numerous other British sails in view, the Emma approaches the Boadicea. Tom Pullings arrives with the Gazette, which announces Sophia's pregnancy. Aubrey is overjoyed by the news. He then reads Admiral Bertie's letter, in which he is instructed to accompany the fleet at Rodriguez, where he would be aboard the HMS Illustrious alongside General Abercrombie's forces. Based on Aubrey and Keating's initial strategy, the final assault is practically bloodless. After being offered honorable conditions, the French submit.

Clonfert has committed himself at the military hospital at Port Louis since the conflict, unable to face Jack Aubrey, whom he deems a competition. At Government House, a formal meal is held. Maturin, through Mr. Peters, spreads rumors about Aubrey's father gaining influence in London, which Bertie believes. The Admiral assigns Aubrey the task of transporting the dispatches of this victory to England aboard the Boadicea.
