CARRIE
PRÓLOGO DE MARGARET ATWOOD
KING, STEPHEN
Una preciosa edición en tapa dura de Carrie, la primera novela publicada de Stephen King, en el 50.° aniversario de su lanzamiento. Incluye un prólogo inédito de la autora Margaret Atwood. Puede que Carrie White no sea la chica más popular del instituto, pero tiene un poder único: es capaz de mover cosas con la mente. Las puertas se cierran. Las velas caen. Es su poder y su tragedia. Entonces, un acto de bondad, tan espontáneo como las constantes burlas de sus compañeros de clase, le ofrece a la joven la oportunidad de convertirse en alguien normal. Sin embargo, una inesperada crueldad transforma su don en un arma capaz de causaron un horror y una destrucción que nadie podrá olvidar jamás. «¿Sabes cuál es el regalo, mamá? Lo que siempre has querido. Las tinieblas». ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 50TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY MARGARET ATWOOD
Stephen King's legendary debut, the bestselling smash hit that put him on the map as one of America's favorite writers - In a world where bullies rule, one girl holds a secret power. Unpopular and tormented, Carrie White's life takes a terrifying turn when her hidden abilities become a weapon of horror. Unpopular at school and subjected to her mother's religious fanaticism at home, Carrie White does not have it easy. But while she may be picked on by her classmates, she has a gift she's kept secret since she was a little girl: she can move things with her mind. Doors lock. Candles fall. Her ability has been both a power and a problem. And when she finds herself the recipient of a sudden act of kindness, Carrie feels like she's finally been given a chance to be normal. She hopes that the nightmare of her classmates' vicious taunts is over . . . but an unexpected and cruel prank turns her gift into a weapon of horror so destructive that the town may never recover. "Stephen King's first novel changed the trajectory of horror fiction forever. Fifty years later, authors say it's still challenging and guiding the genre." --Esquire "A master storyteller." --The Los Angeles Times - "Guaranteed to chill you." --The New York Times - "Gory and horrifying. . . . You can't put it down." --Chicago Tribune
