Misery ist die englischsprachige Vertonung von Stephen Kings gleichnamigem Roman. Das Buch wird von Lindsay Crouse auf 12 CDs ungekürzt vorgetragen.
Das Hörbuch weist eine recht willkürlich erscheinende Track-Setzung (von um die 12 pro CD) auf, die nur selten mit der Kapiteleinteilung des Romans übereinstimmt, teilweise sogar mitten im Satz erfolgt. Hier eine grobe Übersicht zur besseren Orientierung:
