In September of 1986, Stephen King published IT, a sprawling 1,138 page novel that he later dubbed in an interview his "final exam on horror." IT follows the lives of seven friends who battle an ageless evil in their small hometown of Derry, Maine. Twenty-seven years later, they reunite to face their childhood fears when they realize IT wasn't dead after all.
In Still Floating: 40 Years of Pennywise, Tom Deady (Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Haven) brings together thirty-three authors, artists, scholars, and publishers to examines IT in-depth, from King's four-year writing of the novel to the recent adaptations, and everything in between.
Still Floating: 40 Years of Pennywise delivers a complete and heartfelt look into Stephen King's masterpiece and its impact on generations of fans, the horror genre, and pop culture.
