Derry, Maine â Forget everything you thought you knew about the dancing clown.
A 47-page unpublished appendix, allegedly scanned from Stephen Kingâs private Bangor vault and leaked late last night on the dark corners of Reddit and 4chan, claims to be the original, uncut âMacroverse Notesâ King wrote between IT (1986) and Insomnia (1994). The document, watermarked with Kingâs own âSK 1991â handwriting, blows the lid off Pennywiseâs origin in a way that makes the âancient alien crash-landing in prehistoric Earthâ story from the novel look like a bedtime lullaby.
According to the leaked pages, Pennywise, real name Robert âBobâ Gray only in the same way a shadow is named after the object blocking the sun, isnât an alien. It isnât a demon. It isnât even from our dimension.
It is the literal first offspring of the Deadlights themselves, the primal, mindless orange blaze that exists outside the Dark Tower, outside the Todash darkness, older than Gan, older than the Prim. The papers call it âThe First Hunger,â a sentient cancer born the instant the Deadlights gained self-awareness. Where Maturin the Turtle vomited out the universe as an act of creation, the Deadlights shat out IT as an act of destruction, an antibody designed to eat everything the Turtle had made.
The biggest gut-punch? Maturin didnât just âdie of a stomach acheâ as the Losers were told in the library. He was murdered.
The notes describe a primordial war in the Macroverse: the Turtle, guardian of creation versus the Crawling Hunger that would later wear the clownâs face. In the final battle, the Deadlightsâ newborn pierced Maturinâs shell with a single strand of orange light, forcing the great guardian to retreat into our universe and die choking on a galaxy. Thatâs why the Turtleâs corpse orbits Earth to this day, a cosmic corpse still trying to protect the Beam it once carried.
And Derry? It wasnât random. The land where Derry would one day stand sits directly beneath the spot where Maturinâs dying body crashed into primordial Earth 13 billion years ago. His blood soaked the ground. His psychic residue that still leaks out every 27 years like a wound that never heals. Pennywise didnât choose Derry. Derry was built on its cradle.
Even more chilling: the leaks claim Georgie Denbrough was marked before he was born. A single line, scrawled in Kingâs red pen, reads: âEvery 27 years IT wakes and hungers, but once per eon it must feed on a soul that carries the last echo of the Turtleâs dying scream. Georgie carried it. Bill carried it. One of them had to finish what Maturin started.â
Thatâs why Pennywise didnât just kill Georgie in the sewer, it played with him. It was tasting the echo. When Bill survived childhood, the cycle stretched another generation, until Adrian Mellon, until the Bradley Gang, until the Losers finally burned the echo out of existence in 1985, only for the Deadlights to begin searching for the next carrier, hinting at the 27-year tease at the end of the 2019 movie wasnât studio greed. It was canon all along.
The document also finally explains the clown form. Orange pom-poms? Theyâre miniature Deadlights trapped in matter, the only way the entity can manifest without instantly driving mortals insane. The silver eyes? Portals back to the void between universes.
Perhaps the most disturbing revelation: Pennywise has never been the final form. Kingâs original ending, scrapped for being âtoo nihilistic even for me,â had the Losers descending into the Derry sewers one last time in 1985 only to find the spider was a cocoon. The real shape, glimpsed for a split second when the real shape, glimpsed for a split second when they finally killed the spider, was something the human mind refuses to hold: an ever-shifting mass of teeth and light that whispered âYou all living things must obey the Crimson Kingâs will eventually.â
The leak includes a handwritten margin note dated 1993: âIf I ever write the Dark Tower ending, IT gets out. The clown was just the egg sac.â
Kingâs team has not commented on the authenticity, but the scans include coffee stains matching the exact brand he drank in the early â90s, and one page bears a doodle of Rolandâs revolver that appears in an unpublished The Gunslinger revision. Constant Readers on r/stephenking and r/DarkTower are calling it either the biggest literary coup since the Palinurus manuscripts or the most elaborate hoax since the Hitler Diaries.
Either way, the clown isnât in the sewers anymore. According to the final leaked page, dated 2017, the year of the first IT remake, King allegedly wrote: âItâs awake again. Not in Derry this time. It learned fear in 1985. Now it hides in plain sight, wearing the face we trust most in 21st century childhood: the screen.â
Sleep well.
