Book Description

Carrie tells the story of Carrie White, a shy, abused teenage girl ostracized by her peers and terrorized by her fanatically religious mother. As Carrie discovers she possesses powerful telekinetic abilities, years of cruelty and repression build toward a catastrophic eruption of violence at her high school prom, transforming victimhood into vengeance in a chilling exploration of power and alienation.

About Author

Stephen King (born 1947) is an American author widely regarded as one of the most influential and bestselling writers of modern fiction. Raised in Maine, King began writing at an early age and struggled financially before achieving breakthrough success with Carrie in 1974. The novel’s popularity launched a prolific career marked by an extraordinary output across multiple decades, with many of his works rooted in small-town American life and psychological realism.

Known primarily for Horror, King has also written extensively in Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Thriller genres, often blending the supernatural with deeply human fears and emotions. His novels and short stories—including The Shining, It, Misery, and The Dark Tower series—have been adapted into numerous films and television series, cementing his cultural impact. With over 400 million copies sold worldwide, King’s legacy rests on his ability to make the ordinary terrifying and the fantastical profoundly human.
