Stephen King from A to Z: An Encyclopedia of His Life and Work, George W. Beahm, pg. 29 Set primarily in the then-future year of 1979, it revolves around the eponymous Carrietta N. "Carrie" White, a misfit and bullied high school girl who uses her newly discovered telekinetic powers to exact revenge on those who torment her, while in the process causing one of the worst local disasters in American history. King has commented that he finds the work to be "raw" and "with a surprising power to hurt and horrify." It is one of the most frequently banned books in United States schools.(dead link) Much of the book is written in an epistolary structure, using newspaper clippings, magazine articles, letters, and excerpts from books to tell how Carrie destroyed the fictional town of Chamberlain, Maine while exacting revenge on her sadistic classmates.Several adaptations of Carrie have been released, including a 1976 feature film, a 1988 Broadway musical, a , a 2002 television movie, and a 2013 feature film remake.King’s works self-consciously and conspicuously shadow the major European and American Gothic writers and works, echoing and repeating their themes, motifs and rhetoric, drawing (for example) on the American sense of Gothic place and on onomastic and other textual resources.The themes in Carrie represented in every event that happens in the novel.Sears, John. Stephen King's Gothic. 1st ed. U of Wales, 2011. Print.The book is dedicated to King's wife Tabitha: "This is for Tabby, who got me into it – and then bailed me out of it."King's 1979 novel The Dead Zone mentions the book in connection with a fire at another high school prom.
