From Wikipedia:

Carrie is a 1974 horror novel by American author Stephen King. Set in Chamberlain, Maine, the plot revolves around Carrie White, a friendless, bullied high-school girl from an abusive religious household who discovers she has telekinetic powers.

Book jacket for the first UK edition published by New English Library in 1974. The novel’s title and author’s name on the jacket and title page are set in Bullion, with minor changes made to the G and R. Text on the flaps looks like it might be set in Univers. For the gilt lettering on the spine of the purple cloth hardcover, the author’s name is set in ITC Avant Garde Gothic.
