It Begins
Originally appear in 1986, It captivated the acumen of getting Stephen King’s longest atypical at the time, belief in at 1,138 pages. (The entire adaptation of The Stand after surpassed it by 14 pages. Under the Dome is a abutting third at a page calculation of 1,074.) Within that sprawling text, King recounts the adventure of seven accouchement from the baby boondocks of Derry, Maine, whose lives are consistently afflicted by a altercation with a able animal that adopts abounding faces and forms, a lot of conspicuously the clown-faced boogeyman, Pennywise.

Stephen King: I’ve consistently been absorbed in childhood. For awhile, I was the alone guy about [in the abhorrence genre] who capital to address about accouchement and grown-ups. William Golding wrote an addition to his book, Lord of the Flies, area he talks about the alpha of that story. He was sitting with this wife by the blaze one night, and he said to her, “What would you anticipate if I wrote a book about boys, but instead of autograph a book about the way grown-ups like to bethink boyhood, I address about how boys absolutely are?” She said, “That’s a absurd idea.” So he wrote Lord of the Flies, which is a book about accouchement for grown-ups. I anticipation to myself that I’d absolutely like to address a adventure about what’s absent and what’s acquired if you abound up from adolescence to adulthood, and also, the things we acquaintance in adolescence that are like seeds that bloom after on.
