Although there was a fairly big cast of characters (10), I felt each of them were distinctive, and I came to care about all of them deeply by the end of the novella. And speaking of the ending, it kind of blew my mind. It wasn’t a twist as such, but it was just so perfectly written. Straight after finishing this, I checked out the rather cheesy 90s made-for-TV movie adaptation, and I secretly loved every minute. You may have heard of the film adaptation of this story – Secret Window starring Johnny Depp. I’ve never seen the movie, so I went in blind, but whilst it certainly gave me the creeps in places, I also felt the plot was predictable (I guessed the twist early on.) The story follows recently divorced Mort Rainey, an author who is staying up at his summer house for the winter (as his ex-wife took ownership of their home in the settlement) and struggling over the manuscript for his next book. One morning, a strange man named John Shooter shows up on Mort’s doorstep and accuses him of plagiarising one of his stories.
