Carrie

Description

“One wonders how much planning it took to destroy Carrie White? Was it a carefully crafted plan, rehearsed and reviewed many times, or just something that happened haphazardly?” Regarding the novel: “The one who could set fires, bring down power lines, kill with thoughts alone; lies here unable to turn over.” “You know what? I’m not as sorry about the whole thing as people seem to think I should be… but I am sorry for Carrie. They’ve forgotten her, you know.” They turned her into a symbol of some kind, forgetting that she was a human being, just as real as you’re reading this, with hopes and dreams, and so on. I guess there’s no point in telling you this. Nothing can turn her back now from a newspaper creation into an ordinary person. But she was, and she suffered. She suffered probably more than any of us know. *** “A novel guaranteed to give you goosebumps.” The New York Times. “A chilling, blood-curdling novel.” “You can’t put it down once you start.” Chicago Tribune. *** The debut novel by the King of Horror, American novelist Stephen King, published in 1974, quickly became a classic of modern horror literature, appearing on film, stage, and television. A novel about bullying and superpowers, about religious fanaticism and human cruelty, about simple dreams and forgiveness, about betrayed feelings and horrific revenge.
