From the WWW. Carrie was written in 1973 when King was dirt poor, living in a trailer and trying to support two kids on a high school teacher's salary supplemented by the occasional sale of a horror story to a men's magazine. By his own account, he was angry, depressed, and liable to drink away his paycheck if left unsupervised.
