Wednesday is about books, and reading. And writing. Today, the first in a new occasional series: “Stephen King Bookclub”. A chance to go (back) through the books…starting today at the start!
I first read Carrie in the late 90s; my first King was The Stand, after the Mick Garris miniseries in 1994, and Carrie was about 4th or 5th for me. A good yarn, but being his first, it’s always felt a bit raw; a lot of his earlier books have that kind of gritty quality.
The cover of that new edition is gorgeous.

When did he write The Stand? That was an early book too wasn’t it? That was my introduction to Mr King.
1978 - it’s his 4th or 5th book
