Carrie

Carrie by Stephen King is a horror novel that tells the story of Carrie White, a shy and isolated high-school girl who endures relentless bullying at school and abuse from her fanatically religious mother. When Carrie discovers that she possesses powerful telekinetic abilities, years of humiliation and repression culminate in a catastrophic act of revenge that devastates her town. Blending supernatural horror with themes of adolescence, social cruelty, religious extremism, and the consequences of ostracism, Carrie became King’s first published novel and remains one of his most iconic works.
