  • “Carrie” by Stephen King #HorrifyingClassics – Episode 61
    It's time to let the screams sound this week with our discussion of "Carrie." Is Carrie an epistolary novel?

    Yes, this episode is going up a tad early as a surprise to y'all. I can't wait to keep going with the #HorrifyingClassics novels this year.

    Carrie as an epistolary text: https://thediscerningwriter.wordpress.com/2016/02/10/carrie-stephen-king-1974/
