My guess was “Fuck you too” or “Go fuck yourself”.

For the last one he could just have quoted Al. m.youtube.com/watch?v=J-ZfahRzz_w

I’m not for banning any books, but with that said, Stephen King has some very fucked up books, like the one where the 10-year-olds have a spontaneous orgy at the end of It.

Technically it was a train, and they were experiencing a transcendent connection across time with their older selves, in a deliberately unsettling and transgressive scene meant to evoke the rawness of adolescence being laid bare before the worst cosmic horror – an eldritch carrion-eater who feeds on destroying the souls of children – as a way of reclaiming strength from vulnerability. At any rate, depiction is not endorsement.

But yes, considering how many actual adults misinterpret and mischaracterize that scene, I don’t recommend that particular book to children – not because they’ll be damaged by it, but because they won’t have the wisdom of age to understand it.

Yeah. It was horrible but literally “need to grow up fast” as a kind of pseudo protection from the demon that is pennywise.

The entire book is a series of horrors. Another story that hits just as hard but in a different way is Needful Things. Definitely an apt metaphor for how people can be cajoled and manipulated into doing heinous things.

It’s definitely messed up just like the old vampire in the body of a 13 year old in the Diaries of a Vampire series.

It’s fair to have an issue with it but what about all the other books?

I bet I can guess what they don’t like about them and that isn’t it

I read IT in the 8th grade and I didn’t really get the whole “transgressive scene meant to evoke the rawness of adolescence being laid bare before the worst cosmic horror” part, but I did understand that they were doing it as a way to ‘ground’ themselves to reality. And as a 13 year old boy, I thought it was kinda hot.

Technically, it was Stephen King being high out of his mind on cocaine and booze. He’ll be the first to admit it.

Revan343 ,

Did he write It during his cocaine years? I know Cujo, Tommyknockers, and Maximum Overdrive were

The books shouldn’t be banned in high schools for sure. I could see the argument for middle schools, and the books should never see anyone under 12.

Every book report in high school where I could choose the author was a Stephen King novel and I turned out fine. And in Florida too. 😁

Back in the ‘80’s I had a high school English teacher that had us read his Night Shift short stories. The entire class loved it.
