In her first book, Curious Goods: Behind the Scenes of Friday the 13th: The Series, author Alyse Wax (who has been a special guest on our Corpse Club podcast) took a deep dive into the making of the beloved supernatural series that aired from 1987–1990, and in her new book, The World of IT, she takes readers on a trip to Derry for a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Andy Muschietti's IT movies (based on Stephen King's epic 1986 novel). And with IT Chapter Two now in theaters, this weekend is the perfect time for Wax's book signing at horror mecca itself: Dark Delicacies.
Taking place on Saturday, September 14th at 7:00pm at Dark Delicacies in Burbank, The World of IT book signing will feature author Alyse Wax, so if you're in the area and you're planning on giving someone the enduring gift of Pennywise this holiday season, this weekend is the perfect time to personalize your gift with a signature from The World of IT author herself.

"Collecting the best artwork produced during the making of both of these sophisticated and visually enthralling films—including concept art, sketches, storyboards, and behind-the-scenes photography—You’ll Float Too: The World of IT explores the films’ singular aesthetic and meticulous world-building. This compendium includes commentary from director Andy Muschietti; producers Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin, and Roy Lee; the acclaimed ensemble cast; and other creative players who helped bring a new, disturbing vision of King’s perennial bestseller to life."
Raised on a steady diet of R.L. Stine’s Goosebumps books and Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Derek has been fascinated with fear since he first saw ForeverWare being used on an episode of Eerie, Indiana.
When he’s not writing about horror as the Senior News Reporter for Daily Dead, Derek can be found daydreaming about the Santa Carla Boardwalk from The Lost Boys or reading Stephen King and Brian Keene novels.
