#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 and listeners 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.

The attention to the details, as well as a reading but someone who sounds similar to Morgan Freeman made this listen outstanding.

As usual, better than the movie

I've always loved this movie. The book is a bit different like always but the screenplay followed fairly close.
I'll be watching the movie tonight for sure. I can't help it.

The Shawshank Redemption, is my favorite movie, like so many others. I enjoyed this rendition, with the added details, like how Andy had money to pay for things, without straying from the movie’s story line. I also enjoyed and appreciated that it was a quick read!

Love the added details

There’s nothing like a Stephen King novel read by the GREAT Frank Muller. (Such a loss)

Two of my favorites
