In one way or another, everybody abused Carrie. Her fanatical mother forbade this sixteen-year-old misfit everything that was young and fun. She was teased and taunted by her classmates, misunderstood by her teachers, and given up as hopeless by almost everyone.

But Carrie had a secret: she possessed terrifying telekinetic powers that could make inanimate objects move, a lighted candle fall, or a door lock. Carrie could make all kinds of startling bizarre, and malevolent things happen. And so she did one night, when feeling scorned and humiliated...and growing angrier and angrier...she became the vengeful demon who let the whole town feel her power.

The peer pressure in your high school is nothing compared to what happens in "Carrie." Though the second novel he wrote, Carrie was Stephen King's first published novel and a scare-a-minute to readers everywhere. Now, as an audio book, Carrie's struggle to exist in a world where her evangelical mother, ruthless teenagers and raining frogs all exist becomes a passport to terror.
