This is a quirky reversal of the horror genre. Misery, living up to her nickname, manages to exude no joy until she is stalked by a mysterious stranger who seems bent on brightening up her life. He is stuck with the nickname 'Smiler' and is desperate for help from her - how does she manage to be so miserable all the time? Misery takes him under her wing and almost succeeds... only to find herself unfreezing and able at last to climb out of her unhappy frame of mind. A novel that is refreshing, funny and moving.
