Gripping, thought-provoking glimpse into what it might be like to encounter some of our infinite other selves in the multiverse. Poignant, fast-paced thriller with a rewarding ending.

A glacial glimpse into an unnamed girl‘s fear, isolation and lost innocence. Almost certainly mirroring the author‘s own fractured persona. The description of a world succumbing to slowly encroaching ice, and society breaking down, is a haunting, hallucinatory dystopian vision.

Faultless in its portrayal of pre-teen fears, imagination and nightmares. The scenes where the Losers are terrorised by Henry Bowers and co were as scary as their encounters with IT. Felt like it lost its way a little towards the end with desire taking centre stage. Can sort of get why King included the sex scene in the sewers but it was uncomfortable to read and jarred with the horror. Overall, though, a compelling read #StephenKing

I have withdrawn myself from the confusion of cities and multitudes, and spend my days surrounded by wise books, - bright windows in this life of ours, lit by the shining souls of men.
