Supposedly, because Stephen King was doing a lot of drugs during this period of writing. And it kinda shows because there is a lot of weird shit in this book, especially the second half.
shareAre you still daddies little girl? Lol
shareKing probably would have wrote books differently if he knew he would become such a celebrated author. He was coked up and pounding booze and just trying to cash checks to keep the lights on. Also, it was a very different time back then.
shareking was already a rich celebrated author then he wrote IT, his lights were on lol, all his books have sex in them.
he supposedly was so coked up that he didn't remember writing cujo (or so he claims) and that was in 1981, 5 years before IT
Ha ha
shareI'm interested that you seem to think that horror novels don't have sex in them. In my experience, and I've read a lot of them, they often do. Many surrender to the sex leads to death trope common in slasher flicks. In others its just that teen and adult characters often engage in sexual conduct.
shareit's a book meant to be read by adults.. and also one of the themes is 'coming of age' so sex has to come into play
shareBecause they knew that in any horror story that the virgins are killed first.
