'Carrie' is a horror novel about Carrie White, a teenage outcast with telekinetic powers, who is relentlessly bullied at school and abused at home by her religious fanatic mother.

At the senior prom, after being crowned prom queen as a cruel prank, Carrie unleashes her repressed powers, causing widespread destruction and seeking revenge on those who have wronged her.

Stephen King explores themes of isolation, cruelty, and the destructive potential of repressed emotions.

The novel's epistolary structure, incorporating excerpts from fictional books, articles, and testimonies, enhances its sense of realism and dread.

'Carrie' remains a chilling exploration of the consequences of unchecked abuse and the devastating power of revenge.
