ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Firestarter by Stephen King tells the story of Andy and his young daughter, Charlie, who are on the run from a shadowy government agency known as the Shop. Years prior, Andy and Charlie's mother, Vicky, participated in a secret experiment involving a powerful chemical compound called Lot Six, which resulted in them developing psychic abilities. Charlie possesses a particularly dangerous gift: pyrokinesis, the ability to start fires with her mind. As the Shop relentlessly pursues them to exploit Charlie's extraordinary power, Andy must protect his daughter while grappling with the ethical implications of her abilities and their origins. The novel explores themes of government control, the terrifying potential of the human mind, and the fierce bond between a father and his child in the face of overwhelming danger.
