First published in 1986, It (the novel) relates the tale of a group of children in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, who face off against an ancient, shape-shifting evil praying on the town’s children. Frequently and iconically, the entity manifests as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Interestingly, the novel divides itself between two time periods: the late 1950s, when the characters are children, and the mid-1980s, when they have grown up. 

The novel explores powerful themes: childhood trauma, the impact of memory, and the ironclad bonds of friendship. It also meditates on the darker aspects of childhood, from sadistic bullying to domestic abuse, to the loss of innocence and enduring grief. 

Stephen King’s novel and the related films blend horror with a genuine coming-of-age narrative, achieving a rich, layered tale that ultimately embodies one of his most iconic works. Let’s hope production on Welcome to Derry doesn’t stall for too long.
