Stephen King - IT

We all float down here...Unless your holding on to the book when you go into the water. It's so long, it needs an editor, but man, does it create a lore that has been adapted and expanded upon repeatedly over the decades.

It's almost like a right of passage for readers, if you love King, you have to read it. If you hate him, you still have to read it to tell everyone else why it sucks.

IT makes the formula that modern shows have been trying to knick, luck stranger things, super 8, and countless low budget horror movies.
