Carrie
Printed endpapers
Plain slipcase
6 full page colour illustrations by David Lupton
For all its supernatural horror, Carrie has endured because, at its core, it is a story about the perils of growing up. King takes the pains of adolescence - alienation, insecurity and the destabilising loss of control that comes with puberty - and transforms them into something both monstrous and deeply human.
For this Folio book, cover artist Edward Kinsella took inspiration from the novel's most iconic scene: Carrie drenched in pig's blood at the school prom. Inside, illustrator David Lupton has created six full-page colour illustrations, each more unsettling than the last.
What follows is not just revenge, but a reckoning. Stephen King's unforgettable debut is a chilling portrait of isolation and cruelty, where teenage angst ignites into something far darker - and far more dangerous - than anyone could imagine.
