Stephen King
Summary Warning: This article discusses topics of racism, sexual assault, and abuse towards children.
Strangely, the 11-year-old girl decides to have sex with each of her male friends. Her reasoning for this is that she believes doing so will bring them all back together, which is nonsensical, as if the trauma they’ve just gone through isn’t enough of a bonding experience. This controversial It sewer scene has divided critics and readers since its release in 1986, with many justifying it as a reflection of the book's theme of losing childhood innocence.
8 The Shooting Cain Rose Up , 1985 Cain Rose Up is one of the short stories from King’s 1985 collection Skeleton Crew. However, there are several issues with the entire story, not just one moment in particular. Cain Rose Up follows college student Curt Garrish, who is depressed and lives with deep-rooted homicidal rage. After a bad day, Curt decides to pull out his hunting rifle from his closet and opens fire across his campus dorm.
6 Annie Wilkes Kills A State Trooper With A Lawnmower Misery, 1987 Although the movie adaptation of Misery is shocking enough, the original 1987 novel includes moments that the film misses. In the 1990 Misery adaptation, Paul Sheldon’s eventual escape starts when a local sheriff begins to investigate his disappearance, and Annie Wilkes shoots him. However, in the book, she runs him over with a lawnmower.
4 Sam's Rape Memory The Library Policeman , 1990 ’s The Library Policeman, one of the novellas in the collection Four Past Midnight, contains an overtly graphic scene about its main character being assaulted as a child. Sam Peebles overcomes his previously unknown fear of libraries in an attempt to help him write a speech to his local Rotary club, where he meets elderly librarian Ardelia Lortz.
