From the outside, “It” is a clown, balloons in one hand and a beckon in the other whose image either frightens or amuses. But just a peek inside and “It” is quick to establish that you really should be scared. Set in fictional Derry, Maine, during the summers of 1958 and 1985. The Losers Club is a group of seven fifth-graders who steadily come together as a result of both the bullying they endure as well as their interactions with “It,” which manifest itself in a number of frighten- ing forms and encounters with the unreal. Twenty-seven years later, those same kids come back together in Derry because of a promise they made to return when “It” eventually returns. “It” is a horror novel, yes, but you shouldn’t go in expecting to be scared; many of the scary scenes are more appropriate for the time period compared to now. Instead, fear emerges steadily from the Losers own personal lives. I speak as a first-time reader of a Stephen King novel. There’s a lot to say about “It,” both as a story and as a concept. This is a great read that made me interested in not just the story in front of me, but also the lore behind its setting and characters. — By Martin Nelson Donations: A special thanks to Deborah Marrington, Janelle Justen and others for their contributions to the Tribal Library.
