Synopsis#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Stephen King's legendary debut, the bestselling smash hit that put him on the map as one of America's favorite writers - In a world where bullies rule, one girl holds a secret power. Unpopular and tormented, Carrie White's life takes a terrifying turn when her hidden abilities become a weapon of horror. "Stephen King's first novel changed the trajectory of horror fiction forever.

You can't put it down." -- Chicago Tribune Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother's religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she's kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she's finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates' vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover., #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * Stephen King's legendary debut, the bestselling smash hit that put him on the map as one of America's favorite writers * In a world where bullies rule, one girl holds a secret power.

  • I'm glad I found it!

    I have been reading Stephen King since I was 12 years old or for 41 years. As an adult, I have collected all his books. The only one I didn't have was this one, as I never could find a reasonable priced one when I was able to get it. It was exactly as described. It was wrapped very securely and arrived quickly. Thank you!
