About Carrie

Stephen King’s legendary debut, about a teenage outcast and the revenge she enacts on her classmates.

Then, an act of kindness, as spontaneous as the vicious taunts of her classmates, offers Carrie a chance to be a normal…until an unexpected cruelty turns her gift into a weapon of horror and destruction that no one will ever forget.
