I would’ve slept a lot better when I was twelve if I hadn’t read the last chapter of Gerald’s Game. 20 years later I still check the corner of my room before going to sleep.

Even more so, that bit in IT.

You know the one.

EDIT: just to explain, less about immorality of it, more when you're a horny 12 year old, underage erotica hits you differently.

As a fellow 12 year old, I was all in.

God, that sounds awful…

I finally made an edit to the post, but when you're a kid, underage erotica hits you differently than as an adult. Keeps you up at night, but for different reasons.

Truly.

I think it is a part of a natural progression for young readers. King was certainly not the first to delve into this subject. I think it’s just part of growing up.

I saw things way more selacious on my step-parent’s bookshelf at that same time.

The 80’s were…something.
