The 15 Most Spine-Chilling Stephen King Books to Check Out After Watching "The Boogeyman"

King's debut novel, a raw look at the tortures of adolescence and female rage, has been adapted more times than any of his other works and remains one of his most well-known stories. The titular protagonist of "Carrie" is a teenage girl with telekinetic powers, bullied by her peers at school and abused by her mother. Carrie's pain finally finds its outlet at the novel's end, a bloody catharsis that still looms large in pop-cultural imagination, even years later.
