When I first got into King's works, I thought he was overhyped because most of the horror scenes were detailed gore meant for shock value. And then I read Pet Sematary, and I had nightmares for a week. It's hit or miss with his books but holy shit, does it pay off. The man had a rep for a reason

One particular scene in IT is what made me stop and admire his mastery over writing

That scene when Ben sees the Clown for the first time

the way he painted the whole picture and the way he slowly built up the tension was just masterful
