Carrieis fifty years old today. It’s a rare anniversary for any living author, but doubly so for one who is still pumping out at least a book a year and getting some of the best reviews of his career, too. Since April 5, 1974, Stephen King has gone on to restructure the architecture of horror around himself with more than seventy books, featuring some of the genre’s most iconic characters and scenes that have burrowed their way into the very guts of popular culture. ButCarrieis where it all started for King, with the slim story of a bullied teenager and the retribution she unleashes through her budding telekinetic powers. The book climaxes in a violent conflagration, but that fire burns on beyond the final pages, a fitting metaphor for the furnace of contemporary horror that King andCarrieignited. |

Y'all heard the new Post Malone and Beyoncé song? "Levii's Jeans"? It stinks! It stinks like unwashed raw denim. We're BeyHive here at Esquire. We're Post Malone stans, too. Everything else on the album is phenomenal, but that song sounds like a bad TV commercial. But dammit, like every bad Super Bowl commercial out there, it makes us want to pull on some Levi's 501s. |
