Stephen King – Göz (Carrie) – Altın Kitaplar Turkish Edition (1986) – First Edition

Description:

This is the Turkish first edition of Carrie, published under the title Göz by Altın Kitaplar in 1986. Written by Stephen King, the novel is a psychological horror story that explores bullying, repression, and the devastating power of supernatural abilities when combined with emotional trauma.

The story follows Carrie White, a shy and socially isolated teenage girl who is constantly bullied at school and oppressed by her deeply religious mother. As her emotional pressure builds, Carrie discovers she possesses telekinetic powers. A single triggering event leads to a catastrophic outburst that changes everything. The narrative gradually builds from quiet psychological tension to explosive horror.

Stephen King is known for blending supernatural horror with deeply human themes, often focusing on fear, trauma, and the darker sides of ordinary life. Carrie is his breakthrough novel and remains one of his most iconic works.

For collectors, this 1986 Turkish first edition is especially notable in part due to its striking cover illustrated by Turkish artist Yüksel Çetin. The artwork gives the book a unique Turkey-only collectible identity. Combined with its early Turkish edition status of a classic King novel, it is a desirable item for horror literature collectors.
