    I don’t read a ton of horror, but It by Stephen King was deeply disturbing to me. Not just because of the monster or the graphic child sex (yes, really), but because the entire book was basically a reflection of my own childhood until shit started getting horror-y. White, middle class, suburban New England gets turned into a huge bloody world.
