A special edition with a foreword by Margaret Atwood. Carrie White is different. Strange. Her mother, a religious fanatic, has forbidden her daughter to go to parties, spend time with boys or dress like other girls her age. Lonely and shy, Carrie is the target of mockery from everyone around her. But nobody knows that the girl is hiding something from the world: she has telekinetic powers, which she secretly hones. Carrie's tormentors will soon discover that they have made an enormous mistake. A mistake that may cost them their lives… Stephen King (b. 1947) is known as the King of Horror. It was „Carrie” (1974) that brought him fame and took him from laundry worker to America's richest writer. It was the start of a run of genuine bestsellers, among them the cult classics „Miasteczko Salem” (1975), „Lśnienie” (1977), „Bastion” (1978), the series „Mroczna Wieża” (1982–2012), „Cmętarz Zwiężąt” (1983), „To” (1986), „Misery” (1987), „Zielona mila” (1996), „Dallas ’63” (2011), as well as his most recent novels, „Billy Summers” (2021), „Holly” (2023) and „Nie wymiękaj” (2025). King's works, which combine genres such as horror, science fiction, crime, thriller and fantasy, have sold hundreds of millions of copies and have been translated into several dozen languages. They have also been adapted for the screen many times. Stephen King and his wife Tabitha have a daughter and two sons, both writers: Owen King („Śpiące królewny”) and Joe Hill („Locke & Key”).
