Stuart Gordon: Interviews, A Singularly Subversive Spirit [Book Review]
Stuart Gordon is best remembered for his 1985 debut film, Re-Animator. With buckets of blood and a decapitated head giving head (a visual pun Gordon’s high school buddy and frequent writer Dennis Paoli was so excited to write that he phoned Gordon in the middle of the night), the film launched Gordon’s movie career. Before that Gordon worked in his college’s theater, where he and his future wife were arrested on obscenities charges for a production of Peter Pan where dancing naked coeds were used as a canvas for a lightshow. He dropped out of school after that to form his own theater company in Chicago before taking a leave of absence to direct Re-Animator. That leave stretched for much of the rest of his career as he directed twelve more feature films.

For Number One Fans: 5 Books to Cure Your Misery
It’s been 35 years since Misery’s Annie Wilkes found Paul Sheldon’s wrecked car in snowy Sidewinder, Colorado. Fans of the book—or the classic 1990 film adaptation, or the play starring Laurie Metcalf and Bruce Willis—know what happens next. Annie is Paul’s number one fan, and she wants his recently ended Misery Chastain romance series back and she’s willing to do anything to get that sequel.
In the cold light of 2022, Misery comes off as prescient, tackling the toxic fandom years before social media stoked those flames. It showcases King’s incredible ability to find compelling ways to portray characters stuck in a room.
But he’s not the only author to tread these grounds. Once you’ve read Misery, these other 5 books will handcuff you to a bed and keep you reading.
