It (novel)
"IT" (Not to be confused with "it," or "that-" n-no, not that- It. No, not that either, IT) is a horror / thriller / weird sex thing penned by Stevie Monarch, after one of his bi-weekly catastrophic drug binges. It (that being to book, not the title of the book "IT" the book itself ) was his 22nd published novel and his 17th published under his own name, although frankly with some of the madness that happens in it (the book, not the title- well it's also the title but we're talking about the contents not the title,) he probably would've been better off publishing it under a pseudonym. The story follows a nonlinear narrative about a cast of children, and their experiences of being terrorized by a horrifying entity known as- "It???" Are you kidding me? You not only named the title of the novel something vague and non specific but also named the main villain the same thing???A-Anyway "It" (The monster this time, not the book, the main villain that the novel is about) primarily appears as an evil clown known as Pennywise.
The novel is most acclaimed for not being a novel and instead a television miniseries released in 1990, and 2 major motion film adaptations released in 2017 and 2019[1] , because reading is for smelly nerds who have no friends. It also deals themes that became staples of good old Steven Wonder, like the power of memory, childhood trauma, weird nonsense plots that sound like you're on drugs when you try to explain them to anyone who doesn't already know them, murder clowns, movie adaptations that under deliver on the original narrative, odd sexual scenes that involve characters that are confirmed to be minors, and more!
Background and development[edit | edit source ]
Back in the seventies Stephen King lived in the quaint little town of Boulder, Colorado with his family. One evening, on his way back from a bender he walked across one of boulder's scenic rickety, derelict, wooden bridges. Walking across the bridge made good ole Steve remember the story of Three Billy Goats Gruff, a story about goats being kidnapped by trolls while the local police force is too inept to do anything about the high rate of kidnappings along roadsides. In his creative genius he thought, "Heh, if that was in real life would that be fucked up or what???" That night he immediately got to work on writing the original manuscript for IT (the book, that is also the title.)
Plot[edit | edit source ]
As mentioned previously, the book and subsequent film adaptation (aside from the 2017 version, the various incarnations of It[2] ) follow a non-linear narrative where we the audience periodically jump around on the timeline of events for the story. Logically, this same non linear form should be applied to this article. But that would be stupid, and horrible to read.
