The best things said about it
Puberty is terrifying and young women going through puberty is particularly terrifying. And I think in some ways Carrie is like the direct descendant of these books.
Since his first novel Carrie, which was published in 1974, which was made into a hit film two years later, his work has been ripe for screen adaptation.
I mean look at Carrie the first thing that happens the girl has her period you didn't see that in a lot of fiction at the time.
Well there's an amazing anecdote he was doing he was a teacher he wrote like three pages about Carrie and just about how this girl had had her first menstruation cycle and the girls made fun of her whatever and he was very frustrated with it crumpled it up and threw it away.

Why people recommend it
Carrie by Stephen King is the iconic 1974 horror debut novel about a tormented, telekinetic teenage girl who unleashes devastation at her high school prom after suffering years of relentless bullying. While primarily discussed in podcast retrospectives and literary analyses rather than as a direct reading recommendation, the book holds a prominent place in conversations about horror and publishing history. On The Book Review, Leigh Bardugo connected King's portrayal of terrifying adolescent changes and young women to earlier gothic traditions. Sean Fennessey and Gilbert Cruz discussed the novel on the same podcast to mark the launch of King's legendary career and examine how the massive success of its film adaptation paved the way for decades of subsequent screen projects. Other podcast appearances, including episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience and Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, have touched on the novel's origins, its place at the forefront of King's bibliography, and its exploration of speculative psychokinetic phenomena.
