There is such incredible detail in both novels, the only downside is the final scenes with the monsters at the end in both novels can never can quite match all the 1000 page ish length buildup but they are still 9.5/10 best ever horror stories for me
I will second, third and fourth IT (if I may ). An incredibly unsettling novel.
