One of Lenska's six favorite books, as shared at the Daily Express:

MISERY by Stephen King

I have played in Misery on stage. It’s one of the most terrifying of all his amazing thrillers, where an unbalanced woman rescues a writer and makes him a prisoner.

Perversely I rather like being frightened. My sister and I love curling up in front of a horror film.
