The novels of Stephen King are part of the same universe, with some characters and events referenced or appearing in different stories, and this has made way for a variety of theories, such as one that suggests Carrie White’s father is actually Randall Flagg. Stephen King has rightfully earned the title of the King of Horror thanks to his novels and short stories from this genre, which have allowed generations of readers to explore different fears and meet a variety of places and characters, both human and supernatural. King’s career as an author started in 1967 when he sold his first professional short story, “The Glass Floor”, to Startling Mysteries, and in 1973, his first novel, Carrie, was published.
Carrie introduced readers to Carrie White, a friendless high school girl who was constantly bullied at school and abused at home by her extremely religious mother, Margaret White. After a traumatic incident at school that went too far and tired of the constant abuse she went through at school and at home, Carrie discovered and used her telekinetic powers to unleash her revenge against all those who did her wrong, but she caused mass destruction in the process. Although it initially sold modestly, Carrie became a bestseller after Brian de Palma’s 1976 movie adaptation, and it has since been adapted to TV, stage, and film a couple more times, the most recent one in 2013.
