Carrie

Stephen King

Mystery & Suspense

Jul 28, 2018

Sixteen-year-old Carietta White is a social misfit tormented by her fanatically religious mother and ridiculed by her peers. Unable to fit in, too unknowing to avoid the vicious taunts of her classmates, Carrie takes what comfort she can in her peculiar telekinetic ability: By concentrating on objects, she can make them move. Yet even this distinction is sinful in her mother’s eyes, and her psychic faculties are suppressed—until an unexpected act of kindness leads Carrie, with unfamiliar hopefulness, to her senior prom. On that fateful night, the doomed girl’s persecution is taken to a new level by a malicious conspiracy, and the force of her clandestine power is finally released in a frenzy of revenge on a gymful of teens. Never has the cruelty and furious emotion that lurks beneath the surface of adolescent social life been so horrifyingly and gleefully imagined.
