On 'IT': Seriously, Guys, Get Out Of Maine Before You Die Terribly

Surprisingly, my hometown is spelled Downers Grove, no apostrophe. Perhaps this gift to modern convenience will outshine the only other claim to fame of the town, Emo Philips.

@dracula's ghost so glad you jumped in this convo! You go deeper than most in the Stephen King zone. I started with Cujo at age 9 or 10 and my mom scratched on my bedroom door just to mess with me because she knew I was deep in it.
