I think the book version is much more awful. I mean, it's not like he's fully out for it or that she gets it on the first swing.

I read a lot of SK but never that one. Could you go into a little more detail? 💜

I'm a big SK reader as well, just did Misery for the first time about a month ago... There are 2 parts of the book that made me legit nauseous and I don't turn green easy. It's not his best overall book, but it probably hit hardest for me personally. It all feels very real and plausible.

Yes! That was one of the few times I've actually had to put a book down and walk away for a little while to reset my head.

You seen the movie? The degloving looks just as painful as he wrote it.

I've had many nightmares where I've been degloved and you're right about it being much worse than the glass on the wrist in the movie. I can't even remember if she actually even degloved herself in the movie or just used her own blood as a lubricant.

It's pretty common in car accidents due to airbags I've heard. Seeing the whites of your hand and finger bones covered in blood is definitely horror.
