If you finished It and want more of the same, start here. A group of childhood friends face an ancient evil that feeds on fear — and have to face it again, decades later.
What tends to stick with readers is its mysterious, escapist and horror feel. As much a story about childhood friendship as it is about a killer clown. Below are 3 books that carry that feeling in different ways, matched on shared mood, themes and reading experience. It is a long, fast-paced read (reading level: easy to follow), so we've noted where each pick is quicker, slower or heavier.
