Full review at booksfoodandotherthings.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/stephen-kings-carrie/ My rating: 8/10 It’s hard to rate how scary this novel is. Carrie herself, I do not find scary – she is provoked into using her power, and although there is a bit of overkill when she punishes the town (ha....
This was Stephen King's first published work and I hadn't even read it till now?! Some fan I am!I hope Its never too late applies for me here and all will be forgiven.

This is a cautionary tale against bullying and the consequences that could follow. What makes it so horrific is the fact that somethi...
Heather and I both started our Stephen King Reading Project on January first (she talks about it [among other things] here).
