CARRIE Part 3: Starting the Fire


Listen Later

CARRIE is Stephen King's first published book, but did you know he actually wrote a bunch of other novels before ever typing a single word of CARRIE?

In Part Three of our CARRIE Megasode, David explores King's pre-CARRIE works and some of the factors that gave him just the right kick in the pants to start writing the novel that would become a horror classic, including pushback on his early oeuvre of dude-centric stories and a little well-intentioned goading from one of his college buddies.
