Uhm, thanks? I read this (twice, wtf, so traumatising) as a young teenager and never quite recovered. I still scare myself with random thoughts of It... Also it's quite possible I have avoided ever travelling to the Northeast of the US because of this book.

BUT apparently I forgot most of the plot, I guess? Though maybe canon gay is what made me read it twice, come to think of it! A rarity in the early 90s after all.

In any case: a definitive thank you for the recs! I'll gladly have a look.
