STEPHEN KING
CARRIE – A modern classic, Carrie introduced a distinctive new
voice in American fiction – Stephen King. The story of misunderstood high
school Carrie White, her extraordinary Telekinetic powers and her violent rampage
of revenge, remains one of the most barrier-breaking and shocking novels of all
time. Make a date with terror and live the nightmare that is… Carrie Stephen
King’s legendary debut about a teenage outcast and the revenge she enacts on
her classmates. Carrie White may be picked on by her classmates, but she has a gift.
She can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. This is her power
and her problem. Then an act of kindness, as spontaneous as the vicious taunts
of her classmates, offers Carrie a chance to be normal… until an unexpected
cruelty turns her gift into a weapon of horror and destruction that no one will
ever forget. In one way or another, everybody abused Carrie. Her fanatical
mother forbade this sixteen-year-old misfit everything that was young and fun.
She was teased and taunted by her classmates, misunderstood by her teachers and
given up as hopeless by almost everyone. But Carrie had a secret: She possessed
terrifying Telekinetic powers that could make inanimate objects move, a lighted
candle fall or a door lock. Carrie could make all kinds of startling bizarre and
malevolent things happen. And so she did one night, when feeling scorned and
humiliated… and growing angrier and angrier… she became the vengeful demon who
let the whole town feel her power.
