To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live. It was the children who saw – and felt – what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one’s deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . .

The adults, knowing better, knew nothing. Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.

Frightening, epic, and brilliant, Stephen King's IT is one of the greatest …

Review of 'It' on 'Storygraph'

It took a very long time but I finally finished the audio book version of It. I did enjoy it quite a lot but there were some places when it just felt overly long. But, for a book of this size, I imagine it would have to at some point.

I'm still not afraid of clowns!

Review of 'It' on 'Goodreads'

Stephen King es el rey del costumbrismo norteamericano; esto es, el desarrollo es lento ya que se recrea en las descripciones. King lo describe todo, los pensamientos, las emociones, las vidas de sus protagonistas y de la sociedad del momento. Es un detalle muy a tener en cuenta. Pero no por ello se hace pesado; y esa es la magia de King. Es como ir de viaje en tren, llegar al destino es lo importante, pero mejor si se disfruta de las vistas.
Lo que verdaderamente me ha dado miedo no ha sido el monstruo, no eso, ni Pennywise, ni las visiones o las escenas de "susto". No, han sido las escenas normales. Normales incluso si despojamos la escencia enfermiza de eso y presentes hoy día. La violencia (lo que hoy llamamos Bulling ) entre chicos de escuela, los malos tratos a niños (tanto físicamente como emocionalmente), la violencia de …

Review of 'Es' on 'Goodreads'

It must have been 20 years or so since I read this book. It took me two days, because I just couldn't stop. I was horrified and I loved it. Even the weird parts with the turtle and the gangbang. I might need to read it again to remember what the hell that was about.

I am currently listening to 11/22/63 which features the town of Derry and some characters from It. Less horror, still very thrilling.

Review of 'It' on 'Goodreads'

For the past month or so I have had the privilege to know some very interesting and lovable people. I've known them throughout their childhood and adult lives. I've played with them, built dams and clubhouses with them, drank with them, ate with them, and smoked with them. I will miss them dearly. Even It, I got to know briefly about where It came from and what Its motivations were for being on this earth.
I even got to know Derry (the fictional town in which the book is set) like my hometown, and I feel after all this time that I could get from anywhere in town to anywhere else in town with my eyes closed.

This familiarity is a testament to the incredibly rich writing skills of Mr Stephen King. Every character and every place is entirely believable and entirely consistent, which is no small feat considering there …

Review of 'It' on 'Goodreads'

I read this one summer when I was little, when I used to stay up all night long reading books. I would close this book at 3 or 4 in the morning and would be too scared to turn off the light. This book made me so scared that I never watched a horror movie or read horror books until I was in high school after this experience. That damn clown . . .
