Carrie by Stephen King (Book Analysis) : Detailed Summary, Analysis and Reading Guide

Unlock the more straightforward side of Carrie with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of Carrie by Stephen King, a cult horror novel about a young girl who is bullied and isolated by her peers, while also being psychologically abused and neglected by her mother. However, Carrie also has a secret: she has powerful telekinetic powers, and when her tormentors take one of their pranks too far, she uses it to unleash a storm of revenge against them – and the entire town. Stephen King is often referred to as the ‘King of Horror’ thanks to the popularity of his novels and their influence on the genre as a whole, although his work also spans a range of other genres.
