How art confronts child abuse:
-IT, Stephen King
Since its inception in the West, horror has been in deep conversation with the fragility of the family as a unit and the conflicted ways in which Western society regards infants, children, and adolescents.
The Shining is an iconic example of the sublimation of mundane child abuse into horror spectacle. This technique refreshes audiences' ability to see child abuse for the terrifying violation it is, to pull it out of modern life's desensitized context and examine it in a void with its gnarled and bloody roots exposed.
Don't Look AwayChild abuse is a central part of Stephen King's improbably best-selling 1986 horror novel IT, infamous less for that material than for its scene in which six 11-year-old boys make love to their friend, a girl their age, after a draining confrontation with the titular shape-shifting menace. For better or worse, this is the novel's pivotal scene, a passage from the helpless innocence of childhood to the frustrated self-determination of adolescence.
