I got about halfway through IT before I realised I could probably make a video out of it, but decided it was probably too late since I'd read 600 pages already.

After I finished it, I knew I needed to make a video. I spent 100 hours on re-reading the book, writing the 85 page script, recording, and editing this monolith. I can only imagine how crushed I will be if it gets only 100 views, but the 100 of you who watch it will follow me into the pastures beyond in the next life.
