For Carrie, her rare gift of telekinesis becomes a source of revenge with which she can get her own back on the world. Repressed by her religious fanatic of a mother, taunted and laughed at by her schoolmates, she retaliates in all kinds of strange ways. Carrie unwittingly makes enemies. There are always s people who want to humiliate her – but Carrie’s powers, as she soon discovers, are without limits. She retaliates in all kinds of strange ways and finally, nothing is too bad for those who have so cruelly used her. Through a chain of unfortunate circumstances, her rare gift leads to disaster. The consequences are chaos and tragic destruction.
This is an exciting novel, because the concept is tantalizing and because it is based on scientific possibility and speculation. Since man’s first awareness of himself, the power of thought has been a subject of great interest and curiosity.
This novel cannot fail to have a stunning impact on the reader because it taps and explores the savagery and basic instincts which lie deep in the unconscious mind.
