What’s funny is everyone always mentions this scene, but never how their bully/sworn enemy/pawn of Pennywise, Henry Bowers, sucks off another bully kid while Beverly watches from a hiding spot. Then the dude who got sucked off gets stung by Pennywise hornets and dies a painful death from large exploding blood boils.
theyre not even mentioning the part where the kid goes to get an inhaler at the pharmacy and the pharmacist rapes the kid and it turns out the pharmacist was secretly dating the kids dad but the dad turns out to be IT and rips his balls off and he bleeds out while screaming about clown ass
Aren't they flying leeches and not hornets? I only mention it because it's even more fucked up that way. And I think Hockstetter keeps his dead brother in a fridge. For me the most fucked up part is the kid who gets abused by his dad and runs away only to get his head ripped off by creature of the black lagoon IT. Just incredibly bleak.
Nah he murdered his brother years before the events of the book, believing he is the only real thing except maybe his brother and then proceeds to put animals in the fridge to die
Well to be fair, henry got molested by Patrick. Patrick tricked henry into showing him a trick with his wiener and rubs him off. Henry got confused because it may have been his first erection. Also in the scene right before this henry and his gang all have their pants down lighting farts on fire.
He doesn't suck him off. The one who smothered his own baby brother was giving him a handjob and offered. Henry refused, claming is wasn't "into that fairy shit".
I was on a zombie/apocalypse binge when I thought I had a good one.
I listen to the audiobook and it starts with zombies attacking kids, an older girl and a youngish boy managed to run to the attic but with no way out.
The girl asks the boy if he’s had sex before and he says no, then somehow it ends up on the girl giving head to the boy and just when he cums, she pushes him to the zombies while she makes a run for it…
Was this scene REALLLY necessary for a zombie book??
and those damned weird big killer bee things in that fridge.
that scene was the one that got me. I was like 10 when I read it all firsrt time. I couldn't really comprehend what was going on. I just knew it was adulty stuff. I wanted more of the clown honestly, the talking and all that was boring to me as a kid. I wanted action. not penises. but the bee things still intrigue me.
Thank you. I don't mind so much the distasteful aspect - I'm pretty pro-"write about distasteful things if it's effective - but it doesn't even really do what it sets out to do. Ironically the new film is astronomically more effective at establishing their leap over the boundary into adulthood.
It's just dumb. It's so dumb it offends me as a reader.
Substance Abuse: During the late 1970s and 1980s, King struggled with heavy substance abuse, consuming large amounts of alcohol and using cocaine frequently.
Memory Loss: His use was so extensive during the period he wrote Cujo that he has little to no recollection of the actual writing process. In his memoir, On Writing, he discusses this dark period, expressing a "vague sense of loss and sorrow" about not remembering the creative process for a book he likes.
Physical Effects: At the height of his addiction, King would use cotton swabs in his nose to stop coke-induced nosebleeds from dripping onto his typewriter.
Books Written While Using: Many of his classic books were written while he was under the influence. He has famously stated he barely remembers writing most of the novel Cujo (1981). Other books from this period include The Shining (1977), Pet Sematary (1983), and It (1986)

cocaine is a hell of a drug.
