Carrie

Book • 1974
Set in Chamberlain, Maine, 'Carrie' by Stephen King tells the story of Carietta 'Carrie' White, a 16-year-old girl who is ridiculed and bullied by her peers and abused by her ultra-religious mother, Margaret.

Carrie discovers she has telekinetic powers after a humiliating incident in the school locker room where she gets her first period.

The story unfolds through multiple narratives, including newspaper reports, court transcripts, and personal memoirs, detailing Carrie's transformation from a shy and isolated girl to a force of vengeance.

After being humiliated at the school prom, Carrie unleashes her powers, causing widespread destruction and death in the town.

The novel explores themes of ostracism, bullying, and the psychological trauma experienced by its characters.
