Day 9/100 - It by Stephen King
It is one of my favorite novels and one of Stephen King's classics. It takes us all back to those things we feared when we were children, those dark, unnamed things that we were sure lurked in the closet or under the bed.
IN the little town of Derry, Maine, all the fears of seven kids come out in one ugly almost godlike monster that we will come to know as It. It was usually seen as a clown, Pennywise the Clown, who has actually become an icon of evil to an entire generation. He certainly was to Sara.
But I loved the kids, the Losers. The nerdy geeky kids with problems of their own and a monster to conquer too. They even come back as adults to finish the job.
The book is long but never boring, always urging you to turn the page for more and more and I always felt that the book delivered. King described the 'real' it in a way that simply could not be translated into a movie. I won't go into the rest of the plot or even much of the plot. It's simply something you need to read for yourself. If horror stories are your thing, then this one is perfect. Stephen is a master at reaching down deep and finding what terrifies and then scaring the crap out of us with it.
If you haven't read it, do. There will be more Stephen King in this list too. Several more.
