Happy 50th Anniversary "Carrie"

 

Plot: Carrie White, a victim of abuse and bullying, unleashes her telekinetic powers at prom after a vicious prank. 

The 5th of April, 2024, marked the 50th anniversary of the horror novel, "Carrie," published in 1974. It is the first published novel by American novelist  Stephen King. While it's not the first novel he penned (which was actually  The Long Walk, later published in 1979), Carrie launched King's career as an author and sold even more copies after its first film adaptation, starring Sissy Spacek as the main character, Carrie White. A sequel and two more adaptations have been released, along with a 1988 musical, further cementing "Carrie" as a memorable classic. Carrie's main themes are ostracism and revenge. 

Stephen King expressed his gratitude on X (formerly Twitter): 

 Carrie's  50th-anniversary edition was published on the 26th of March, in hardback, by Hodder & Stoughton. 

Happy 50th Anniversary, "Carrie"!!!
