We hear much about him, but his twin brother Poundfoolish is rarely thought of....

Feels so very drained,

It's a guttersnipe of need

a sewer clownshow

__

Get your boaty-boat

right back to you young fella,

just step in closer

__

Fear and dread my food

misery my nutrient broth,

agony dessert

__

Yum yum, clown's delight -

there's so much hate in this town,

a feasting of it...

Ngl I like this better than King’s version. It’s scary, succinct, and King would never come up with such a great line as agony dessert🖤

Much prefer Ligotti for contemporary American horror myself, there's an elegance there that King could never achieve in a month of Sundays.

Not a big "It" fan...I read it, but it's not one of my faves...

I have it in my Kindle TBR but haven’t tackled it yet. I’ve seen all the various screen iterations though. I’m not a King fan in general, but Pennywise is kind of the iconic scary clown, had to include it.

I get it…and it has as many fans as “The Stand” which is another King work I read but wasn’t super enchanted with.

I liked his early books…Carrie, The Shining, Christine, Salem’s Lot, Pet Semetary…I even liked The Tommyknockers, but the last decent book he wrote was The Regulators (as Richard Bachman) imho…

For a safer town,

Just respect his pronouns, and,

Stop calling him 'It'... 🤡😎🤡

😂 I wonder if they even have pronouns in space.

Haha! Well it would be hilarious if it turns out that 'It' and 'Thing' are what most aliens do self-indentify as... 😎
