From the Publisher
Stephen King''s legendary debut, about a teenage outcast and the
revenge she enacts on her classmates.
Carrie White may have been unfashionable and unpopular, but she had
a gift. Carrie could make things move by concentrating on them. A
candle would fall. A door would lock. This was her power and her
sin. Then, an act of kindness, as spontaneous as the vicious taunts
of her classmates, offered Carrie a chance to be a normal and go to
her senior prom. But another act--of ferocious cruelty--turned her
gift into a weapon of horror and destruction that her classmates
would never forget.
