#1 New York Times bestselling author Stephen King's beloved novella, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption-the basis for the Best Picture Academy Award-nominee The Shawshank Redemption-about an unjustly imprisoned convict who seeks a strangely satisfying revenge, is now available for the first time as a standalone book.

A mesmerizing tale of unjust imprisonment and offbeat escape, Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption is one of Stephen King's most beloved and iconic stories, and it helped make Castle Rock a place readers would return to over and over again. Suspenseful, mysterious, and heart-wrenching, this iconic King novella, populated by a cast of unforgettable characters, is about a fiercely compelling convict named Andy Dufresne who is seeking his ultimate revenge. Originally published in 1982 in the collection Different Seasons (alongside “The Body,” “Apt Pupil,” and “The Breathing Method”), it was made into the film The Shawshank Redemption in 1994. Starring Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins, this modern classic was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and is among the most beloved films of all time.

Editorial Reviews

MAR 96 - AudioFile

When two giants team-up, power follows. King needs no introduction, and Library Journal calls Muller the first superstar of audio. In this program Muller tells King’s earthy story of perseverance in Shawshank Prison in raw, gutteral tones. Harsh though the story is, the delivery carries the intimacy of a friend talking to the listener from the passenger seat. While the reading was so riveting I couldn’t turn it off, there were times when it was so brutal I had to stop the tape. Muller’s flawless reading enriches King’s powerful story, providing a superlative audio program. D.W.K. Winner of AUDIOFILE Earphones Award ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine
