A beautifully produced and newly illustrated edition of Stephen King's first novel, 'Carrie', first published in 1974. This classic horror novel tells the story of teenager Carrie White who discovers she has supernatural powers before wreaking havoc and revenge on her school tormentors and fanatical mother on the night of her doomed senior prom. 'Carrie' has been adapted into two feature films, first in 1976 directed by Brian Da Palma and starring Sissy Spacek, John Travolta and Piper Laurie, then again in 2013 directed by Kimberly Peirce and starring Chloe Grace Moretz, Julianne Moore and Judy Greer. Spacek and Laurie both received Academy Award Nominations for their portrayals of Carrie and Margaret White in the 1976 film adaptation.
