    The guy did write about a bunch of children running a train on another child to “recharge their matches” in the book ‘it’ acting like it was a liberating experiance.

    Guy also described a girl pissing and shitting herself in “the girl who lived tom gordon” in detail which weirded me out even as a kid

      At the time I read The Girl I thought that part was a bold move. Drinking random creek water will totally do that to you and I liked that he didn’t pull his punches just because the character was a girl.

      Then I read his other works. I’m pretty sure he’s into kids. There’s a small benefit of the doubt that it’s his version of a dead baby joke and he does it just to fuck with readers, but I’m too jaded to expect he’s not dicking children himself.
