The story of Lizzie has been adapted into a mini-series written by Stephen King, starring Julian Moore and Clive Owen, directed by Pablo Larrain.
Two years ago, Lizzie lost her husband, Scott, after twenty-five years of marriage. Scott was an award-winning bestselling author and a complex man. From the beginning of their relationship, before they got married, Lizzie knew that Scott withdrew into a certain place – a place that scared him and healed him at the same time, a place that could devour him alive or provide him with the ideas he needed to stay alive.
Now it is Lizzie's turn to confront Scott's demons and visit this terrifying place. Soon, what initially seems like a widow's attempt to organize her famous husband's notes becomes a fateful journey into the darkness of his life.
The story of Lizzie, perhaps Stephen King's most personal and powerful work, addresses the source of creativity, the temptations of madness, and the secret language of love.

“The Story of Lizzie is tangible proof that Stephen King has evolved from a talented horror writer to an important literary figure.” –Los Angeles Times
“Intricate and enjoyable.” –The New Yorker
“The rich portrait of a marriage and the complex affection that lives beyond death.” –The Washington Post
