Rooted in the topical realities of the notorious CIA drug experiments Firestarter has the nitty-gritty reality we've come to expect of King... (Leiber in Fear Itself, 111-12). A very nice example presenting in it's eye-catching Original First Impression Dust Jacket.

"Rooted in the topical realities of the notorious CIA drug experiments" Firestarter tells the story of a young girl, Charlie, with powerful pyrokinetic abilities, the unexpected result of an earlier government experiment in hallucinogens in which both her parents were participants, themselves left with mild telepathic and telekinetic powers after ingesting a drug called Lot Six. Charlies abilities make her a target for the government intelligence agency known as The Shop, determined to capture Charlie and use her firestarting powers as a weapon. Written by noted American horror author Stephen King, Firestarter was well received by readers and, in 1981, earned the American Library Associations award for Best Books for Young Readers, among other nominations. In 1984, the story was adapted for a film of the same name, directed by Mark L.

Lester and starring a young Drew Barrymore as Charlie. Very Good Plus Book in Near Fine Dust Jacket. Book binding square and nearly tight with very slight forward slope to front text block. Original quarter bound cloth boards present with vibrant color and only light fading at edges and head and foot of spine.

Paper sides retain deep color and present clean and unmarked but for a couple areas of nearly unremarkable lightening.
