Story
A superb novel set in classic Stephen King territory - a small new England town about to be engulfed by terror. Turn off the television - in fact, why don't you turn off all the lights except for the one over your favourite chair? - and we'll talk about vampires here in the dim. I think I can make you believe in them. Stephen King, from the introduction. Salem's Lot is a small New England town with the usual quota of gossips, drinkers, weirdos and respectable folk.

Story
Misery Chastain was dead. Paul Sheldon had just killed her - with relief, with joy. Misery had made him rich; she was the heroine of a string of best sellers. And now he wanted to get on to some real writing. That's when the car accident happened, and he woke up in pain in a strange bed. But it wasn't the hospital. Annie Wilkes had pulled him from the wreck, brought him to her remote mountain home, splinted and set his mangled legs. The good news was that Annie was a nurse and had painkilling drugs. The bad news was that she was Paul's Number One Fan.

Once upon a time, not so long ago, a monster came to the small town of Castle Rock, Maine.... He was not a werewolf, a vampire, a ghoul, or an unnameable creature from the enchanted forest or snow wastes; he was only a cop....

It is a cave inhabited by rabid bats. And Cujo falls sick. Very sick.

Danny is only five years old, but in the words of old Mr Hallorann he is a 'shiner', aglow with psychic voltage. When his father becomes caretaker of the Overlook Hotel, Danny's visions grow out of control. As winter closes in and blizzards cut them off, the hotel seems to develop a life of its own. It is meant to be empty. So who is the lady in Room 217, and who are the masked guests going up and down in the elevator? And why do the hedges shaped like animals seem so alive?

Greedy and big, she was Arnie's obsession, a '58 Plymouth Fury. Broken down but not finished. There was still power in her - a frightening power that leaked like sump oil, staining and corrupting. A malign power that corroded the mind and turned ownership into possession.

Story
The house looked right, felt right to Dr Louis Creed. Rambling, old, unsmart and comfortable. A place where the family could settle, the children grow and play and explore. The rolling hills and meadows of Maine seemed a world away from the fume-choked dangers of Chicago. Only the occasional big truck out on the two-lane highway, grinding up through the gears, hammering down the long gradients, growled out an intrusive threat. But behind the house and far away from the road: that was safe.

Everything is familiar. But everything has changed. Coming back to the little community is like walking into a nightmare for Jim Gardener, poet, drunk, potential suicide. It all looks the same: the house; the furniture; Jim's friend, Bobbi; her beagle (though ageing); even the woods out at the back. But it was in the woods that Bobbi stumbled over the odd, part-buried object and felt a peculiar tingle as she brushed the soft earth away. Everything is familiar. But everything is about to change.

The name on the covers was Bachman. But the imagination could only belong to one man: Stephen King. 'Thinner' - the old gypsy man barely whispers the word. Billy feels the touch of a withered hand on his cheek. Billy Halleck, prosperous if overweight citizen, happily married, shuddered then turned angrily away. The old woman's death had been none of his fault. The courts had cleared him. She'd just stumbled in front of his car.

Story
There was a new shop in town. Run by a stranger. Needful Things, the sign said. The oddest name. A name that caused some gossip and speculation among the good folks of Castle Rock, Maine, while they waited for opening day. Eleven-year-old Brian Rusk was the first customer and he got just what he wanted, a very rare 1956 Sandy Koufax baseball card. Signed. Cyndi Rose Martin was next. A Lalique vase. A perfect match for her living room decor. Something for everyone.

To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry, Maine, was just their hometown: familiar, well ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw - and felt - what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one's deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing....

For hundreds of thousands of fans who read The Stand in its original version and wanted more, this new edition is Stephen King's gift.

A collection of tales to invade and paralyse the mind as the safe light of day is infiltrated by the shadows of the night. As you listen, the clutching fingers of terror brush lightly across the nape of the neck, reach round from behind to clutch and lock themselves, white-knuckled, around the throat.This is the horror of ordinary people and everyday objects that become strangely altered; a world where nothing is ever quite what it seems, where the familiar and the friendly lure and deceive.

Start here!
I am currently aiming to listen to all King’s books, and although I have already heard a few I’ve gone back to the start with Carrie. It’s a treasure to hear it read by Sissy Spacek who played Carrie in the original movie. The story is solid and addresses many of the trials and tribulations faced by the teenage Carrie in her coming of age and employing her telekinesis.

Audio quality
I really loved this read of Carrie by Sissy Spacek, however I was unimpressed by the audio quality; large slabs of the recording were accompanied by bad hiss. I also wondered if the voice record had been actually recorded in a professional studio. I’ve never encountered audio quality issues on Audible before. Maybe it was recorded in the distant past and it’s been rescued from the archives...

Great Story, but a Little Too Scary
I am a fan of Stephen King, and enjoy almost all of his stories. Carrie is an example of a great story. Carrie's life reminds me of mine, but the aspects of it, including the idea of telekinesis is a little creepy.
As for the voice over by Sissy Spacek, is awesome. To have an actress who once played Carrie White narrating the novel is priceless.
Overall, good work.

Good story, but not so horrifying
I had quite high expectations for this book, that's probably why I was a little disappointed. The story is, without a doubt, original and a bit addictive, but it didn't give me the chills. I hoped for a good old horror story, but it was more a description of a tragedy with quotes from different books about telekinesis.
But don't get me wrong, it was worth the listen! I love King, but it wasn't as horrifying as some of his other stories.

Worth a read but!!!
I would recommend other King books such as 'Shining' because this story is a bit too basic and there aren't really any high stakes or but Stephen King makes up for this with amazing characters and makes you feel like you are a student or a journalist inside this High School. The narrator was great and a perfect voice and brings a good vibe to the story

much better than the movies
I'm a real lover of the writings of Stephen king. this is a good read but a little confusing to begin with until you realise that the reader is reading extracts from different books based on the event of carrie, along with the actually story. the jump back and forth becomes quiet smooth though as the story progresses. this is not a scary story but very well written and even though it is one of his first books it still stands the test of time. king is not afraid to speak of topics that others might shy away from and it lends strength to his writing.

Much better than the film.
Where does Carrie rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Top five out of all audiobook listened to so far.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Carrie herself. trapped in the body of an adolescent girl, tortured by her estranged mother and school friends who as we all know can be horrible in themselves.
What does Sissy Spacek bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
Excellent choice of narrator. Sissy brought out all the feeling behind the characters portrayed in the book. Obviously seeing Sissy as Carrie in the film helped however Sissy brought to the book a professionalism that was believable.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The point where Carrie prepares for the Prom attends the dance and naturally fits in until the events that brought forward the catastrophe.
Any additional comments?
Definitely worth listening to this book. The story brings to the reader the tale of a young girl persecuted for the way she was brought up through no fault of her own and then takes matters into her own hands in a devastating manner.

Not one of King’s best
I suppose I shouldn’t be too harsh when judging this book: after all, it was Stephen King’s first novel, and he was only in his twenties when he wrote it. However, it’s definitely one of the few King stories that works better as a film. The plot is pretty simple, so the audiobook does feel like it’s dragging it out a bit. I also didn’t appreciate the “newspaper clipping” style of writing borrowed from Dracula; it just doesn’t work for me. Nevertheless by no means is the story awful, and you really do feel for Carrie when she suffers so much at the hands of her classmates and horrific mother.
Sissy Spacek was...an interesting choice for narrator. Obviously she was chosen because she played Carrie in the film, but I’m not sure that her warm, soothing Texan accent was entirely suitable for a horror story. She did a perfectly serviceable job, but I think it needed a narrator with a bit more punch, and also one who could put in different voices in order to differentiate the characters.
Overall it was fine. Worth picking up if it’s in a 2 for 1 sale.

Meh...
There was a tinny sort of white noise under the whole recording. Plus the narrator wasn't anything amazing, don't know if it was how it was read etc... But didn't have me on the edge of my seat like the usual Stephen King e.g Pet Sematary, Misery, It and the Shinning.
