Born in Portland, Maine, in 1947, Stephen King began his writing career with the sale of his first short story in 1967. But it was the publication of his first novel, Carrie, in 1974, that would truly set him on the path to becoming the number one international bestseller that he is today.
As with many of King’s works, the novel is set in a small town in Maine, and explores universal themes like adolescence, isolation, and the abuse of power. Centered around Carrie White, a tormented teenage girl whose telekinetic powers allow her to exact revenge on those who have wronged her, the work not only announced King as a definitive new voice in horror writing but has become a timeless classic of contemporary literature.
In celebrating over 50 years since Carrie’s publication, our team has collaborated with Hodder & Stoughton to bring their instantly iconic anniversary edition book cover to life as a hardcover journal. The anniversary edition of Carrie features a fresh introduction by Margaret Atwood and marks the beginning of a new line of Stephen King Classics from Hodder & Stoughton.
Paperblanks’ Carrie journal is also more than just a tribute to one of King’s most famous works; it is an ode to the power of storytelling. Incorporating memorable and highly symbolic visuals from the story, like dripping blood and blazing fire, this special Carrie cover design is not only visually arresting but fully captures the essence of the story’s haunting atmosphere.
In recognition of Stephen King’s more than 50 years at the top, we salute his contributions to the craft of writing, and his place as one of the greatest writers in modern literature. We are honoured to celebrate the lasting power of King’s storytelling with this commemorative journal and bookmark, offering fans of Carrie a chance to be part of the novel’s legacy.
