It: Welcome to Derry finished airing and I instantly had question. Mainly how the lore of Derry, Maine works in all Stephen King stories. There are a lot of his adaptations that go back to Derry. Does everyone just forget?
In It, the idea is that if you leave Derry, you’ll forget most of what happened to you in the town. You’ll remember that Derry exists but not the people or your experience with the town. Which then brings up questions for other properties. While there are novels that also connect to Derry (like 11/22/63), Derry has become more of a nod to King through the adaptations of his work.
