My ‘easy’ read that I treated myself to was Stephen King’s Carrie. It was the first horror film I had ever watched and had me gripped on the genre ever since. I struggle to recall the film now, only the shower scene and the pig’s blood and an image of John Travolta in a white suit/tux.
The book wasn’t at all how I imagined. It showed numerous viewpoints of the scene and it was difficult to tell who the main character was. King also gave it a scientific feel with the excerpts from journals and interviews on the subject in hindsight.
Overall the story did not seem as frightening as it did when I was eleven but it was nice to see what novel inspired the film that brought me into the genre of horror at such a young age.
256 pages in total made this a very short read! Next / currently I’m reading 1984 which has come highly recommended from my boyfriend. I feel compelled to like it, so far it has me a bit confused but intriguing nonetheless!
