It’s no coincidence that It was written during the height of King’s self-destructive path towards death, and he often mentions it when discussing his path to sobriety. “It” - what King’s “Loser Club” of awkward teens call the demon haunting them - is a spiritual parasite, tainting all their positive memories and eating them alive from the inside.

His struggles with alcoholism and guilt are most present in 1977’s The Shining, though the hallucinatory, violent loss of innocence in It feels like it could easily have been written by a tortured man. It was first published in 1986, just a few years before King’s family staged an intervention, pleading with the prolific author to get help for his alcoholism. Similar to his 1982 novella The Body, It is King’s ode to adventurous teens, and it’s full of violent sexual imagery which he largely abandoned in later works.

The novel contains his definitive depiction of Derry, Maine, his fictional analog for the actual town of Bangor, and sets up the horrific vision of small-town Maine which he returned to in Bag of Bones, Insomnia, and Dreamcatcher. S tephen King’s It remains one of his most disturbing and sprawling novels.
