He is the logical successor to Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. And, he is also one of the greatest of all modern fiction writers, regardless of genre. From the dust jacket: " . . . CARRIE . . . STEPHEN KING . . . Carrie was the odd one at school; the one whose reflexes were always off in games, whose clothes never really fit, who never got the point of a joke. And so she became the joke, the brunt of teen-aged cruelties that puzzled her as much as they wounded her . . . There was hardly any comfort in playing her private, because like so many things in Carrie's life, it was sinful. Or so her mother said. Carrie could make things move -- by concentrating on them, by willing them to move. Small things, like marbles, would start dancing. Or a candle would fall. A door would lock. This was her game -- her power her sin, firmly repressed like everything else about Carrie . . . One act of kindness, as spontaneous as the vicious jokes of her classmates, offered Carrie a new look at herself that night of the senior prom. But another -- of furious cruelty -- forever changed things and turned her into a weapon of horror and destruction . . . She made a lighted candle fall, and she locked the doors . . . " From the rear flap of the dust jacket: " . . . In this, his first novel, Stephen King reveals a New England town, a girl, and a secret older than history. His chilling tale takes hold of the reader, from the first bizarre incident to the last blossoming terror. Mr. King is a school teacher who lives in Maine with his wife and two children . . . " From the rear panel of the dust jacket that was on the original 1st edition of CARRIE: " . . . This is a novel about the other world in this world. It is the chilling story of a girl and her strange power . . . Carrie White could produce motion in objects without contact or other physical means. This little known phenomenon, know as telekinesis, is produced in individuals under circumstances of extreme psychic stress. And Carrie was indeed pushed beyond human limits, as she unleashed her frightening power upon a small New England town . . . Stephen King's story will stun your sensibilities, jangle your nerve endings, and make you wonder even more . . . CARRIE . . . STEPHEN KING . . . " _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Clute, Nicholls. THE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF SCIENCE FICTION (1993): “ . . . Stephen King is probably the most successful bestseller novelist in history . . . King’s pungent prose, his sharp ear for dialogue, his disarmingly laid-back, frank style, along with his passionately fierce denunciations of human stupidity and cruelty (especially to children), put him among the more distinguished of ‘popular’ writers . . . ” Jones, Newman. HORROR: THE 100 BEST BOOKS (1988): “ . . . Stephen King is arguably the most popular novelist in the history of American fiction and is indisputably the most successful horror writer of all time, with hundreds of millions of copies of his books in print . . . ” Barron. HORROR LITERATURE (1990): “ . . . A discussion of Stephen King must be a dominant consideration in any analysis of contemporary dark fantasy . . . The essence of successful storytelling is solid plotting and the structural principles of King’s plots are remarkably effective. His characters are believable, sympathetic, and thoroughly contemporary; his settings are realistic, his dialogue colloquial, his writing clear and vivid . . . In order for a horror novel to achieve best-seller status, it must touch subjects, themes, and attitudes of more general public concern than is usual in hardcore genre products, while also exploiting the characteristic appeal of the genre. Stephen King has done this more efficiently and consistently than any other horror writer, past or present . . . ” __________________________________________________________________________________________ I grade books and dust jackets: fine, near fine, very good, good, fair, and poor. I describe all faults. If you sell books on EBAY (or anywhere else), it is de rigueur not to list 1st printings of book club books as 1st editions (unless they ARE the 1st edition, which occurs only occasionally); also, a 1st edition, 7th printing, is not a 1st edition. Ex-library books must be noted as such since generally they are of little value to the collector of 1st editions. Condition is also very important to those collectors. Books and dust jackets must be described in detail. In other words, it is incumbent upon the SELLER to know what is and is not a 1st edition. Mistakes can be made (and corrected), of course, but if you DON'T KNOW, don't try to sell a book as a 1st edition. __________________________________________________________________________________________ CONDITION: A FINE book in a FINE dust jacket in a FINE slipcase. The book is tight and square in its black leather binding with bright red and gilt lettering on the front board of the book and on the spine of the book. The book has the correct black endpapers. The second to the last page has a photo of the front panel of the original dust jacket of the 1st edition of the book. The dust jacket has full wraparound artwork by the great artist Tomislav Tikulun as well as multiple full-page, full color interior illustrations. The slipcase is extremely well made and matches the lettering on the book itself. An amazing production in terms of the materials used to make the book, the illustrations, the dust jacket, the binding, and the slipcase. This is a brand new and never been read copy of this book. The photos shown in this listing come from the Cemetery Dance copy of CARRIE that is in my personal collection. The copy you would be getting is in the original shrinkwrap that came from the publisher. I use the EBAY shipping system to send out the majority of the books that I sell. Insurance is included in the shipping charges for this book that the buyer will be paying. One would assume that the buyer would want to insure this book for its correct value. A MUST FOR THE COLLECTOR OF IMPORTANT MODERN HORROR FICTION 1st CEMETERY DANCE LIMITED EDITIONS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF BOOKS MADE INTO FILMS AND/OR THE COLLECTOR OF STEPHEN KING LIMITED EDITIONS! ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Additional photos are available upon request. I am continuing to list some of my best books (especially science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions) on EBAY not so much as auctions (due to the fact that EBAY charges quite a bit to list items for reserve auctions), but more along the lines of listing my “catalogue” of books that I have for sale. I'm not going to “give” these books away, but my opening bids and Buy-It-Now prices are usually a fair amount below market value. Furthermore, however, for certain scarce books in great condition, I do expect to get close to what they’re worth. Stay with me; I always have a number of important, collectible, cornerstone science fiction, fantasy, and horror 1st editions listed. Many thanks! All items are being offered for sale elsewhere; I reserve the right to end this listing early if this item sells elsewhere. __________________________________________________________________________________ Note: I own the following two books: Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY JUSTICE. Subterranean Press, 2014. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY MERCY. Subterranean Press, 2016. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I am looking for: Leckie, Anne. ANCILLARY SWORD. Subterranean Press, 2015. 1st limited edition. (#2/500). I would like to round out this set by acquiring the #2/500 copy of ANCILLARY SWORD. If anyone has this copy and is willing to sell it on EBAY, I would be highly interested in obtaining it so that all my copies would have matching numbers. Many thanks. __________________________________________________________________________________ Contact me if you’re looking for a particular title or titles. I have thousands of books for sale that may or may not show up in my EBAY listings. I am happy to set up flexible PAYMENT and/or HOLD PLANS for any book(s) that you bid on and win.

You must be willing to pay for non-USPS Media Mail shipping charges or for international shipping charges. I reserve the right to negate a purchase if you are unwilling to pay for the correct shipping charges either to an address in the U.S. or if international shipping is required.
