8vo. Original printed pictorial boards; dust jacket; publisher's pictorial slipcase.

LIMITED EDITION, number 610 of 974 slipcased copies. SIGNED BY GLENN CHADBOURNE, JAMES LOVEGROVE, AND KIM NEWMAN. Inspired in part by two elementary school classmates and his own experiences as a high school teacher, Stephen King began work on Carrie, intending to submit it as a short story to one of the men's magazines in which he most often published his work; however, after three pages, he became uncomfortable with the story and threw it away. It was famously rescued from the garbage bin by King's wife, Tabitha, who encouraged him to finish the story. It was initially published in April 1974 and quickly proved a massive success, kickstarting King's career as one of the bestselling novelists of the twentieth century.
