				Stephen King's legendary debut, about a teenage outcast and the
revenge she enacts on her classmates, is a Classic. CARRIE is the
novel which set him on the road to the Number One bestselling
author King is today. Carrie White is no ordinary girl. Carrie
White has the gift of telekinesis. To be invited to Prom Night by
Tommy Ross is a dream come true for Carrie - the first step towards
social acceptance by her high school colleagues. But events will
take a decidedly macabre turn on that horrifying and endless night
as she is forced to exercise her terrible gift on the town that
mocks and loathes her . . .
			
		  
	 
	
 
							
							
								
							
							
								
							
							
								
							
							
								
							
							
								
							
							
								
							
							
								
							
							
								
	
	
	
		
			
				
			
	
 
			
			
				This book proposes a comparative approach to the supernatural short
stories of Machado de Assis, Henry James and Guy de Maupassant. It
offers an alternative to predominantly novel-centric and
Anglo-centric perspectives on literary pre-modernism by
investigating a transnational and multilingual connection between
genre, theme and theory, i.e., between the modern short story, the
supernatural and the problem of knowledge. Incorporating a close
analysis of the literary texts into a discussion of their
historical context, the book argues that Machado, James and
Maupassant explore and reinvent the supernatural short story as a
metafictional genre. This modernized and innovative form allows
them to challenge the dichotomies and conventions of realist and
supernatural fiction, inviting their past and present readers to
question common assumptions on reality and literary representation.

				This is a book of short stories that have manifested in the mind of
Michael McInerney for years, and has now unleashed it to the public
to take a glimpse into his disturbed mind. Each story is a
terrifying journey into the mind of each of his characters.
