Stephen King's ‘IT' Is Getting A Very Expensive Collector's Edition
Premium independent book publisher The Folio Society is releasing a special version of Stephen King's classic 1986 clown horror novel IT on July 15 . And, well, it's not cheap.
The special edition, printed in a small run that's limited to only 500 copies, is hand-illustrated and will set you back a whopping $825. As of this writing, a vanilla Kindle copy of IT costs just $13 on Amazon—worth every penny(wise), by the way—but if you utilize that option, you won't get all the touted extras of The Folio Society's upcoming physical artisan tome:
'This is IT as horror fans have never seen it. Approved by King himself, the edition features haunting original artwork from Jim Burns, tattered, blood-soaked design by typographer David Curtis, and a brand-new introduction by none other than Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro. From unsettling endpapers to a stark crimson balloon on the slipcase, every detail pays tribute to the terror that has haunted dreams and stalked sewers for nearly four decades.'

Obviously, this kind of thing is aimed at serious book collectors only, and I'm sure the people with this kind of literary taste (and cash) might not bat an eye at spending close to $1,000 on a single novel. That said, IT is one of my favorite books of all time, and even I'm tempted to obtain such a unique special edition. The added aesthetics and design are both appealing, undoubtedly, but I'm mostly interested in Guillermo del Toro's added words.
I've heard he's a King fan, and to this day, I wonder why del Toro has never adapted any of the legendary Maine writer's work to film. The two seem like a natural creative pairing, so I'm really interested in reading this new IT introduction. Hell, I'd actually love to see del Toro take a proper stab at IT, although the material has been adapted to death, going back to the TV miniseries starring Tim Curry.
Admittedly, none of the previous adaptations have truly hit home for me, although HBO's Welcome to Derry looks somewhat promising. Even though a del Toro take on IT would be compelling, I'd probably prefer he focus on one of the lesser-known King stories, like perhaps Duma Key . Or honestly, can we get a The Jaunt movie already?
It will be fascinating to see how fast these IT limited editions sell out when they get listed early next week. I'll be watching from the sidelines with searing jealousy, thumbing through my old, worn-out paperback, and hoping I don't see any rogue balloons.

Pumpkin spice lattes return with the new Dunkin' fall menu
This is not a drill. The iconic pumpkin spice latte (A.K.A. PSL) has landed. The unofficial start to 'sweat-uh weather-uh' has begun, as fall flavors — love 'em or hate 'em — have officially landed at Dunkin', along with the return of an even sweeter collab from two-time Grammy Award-winning superstar, Sabrina Carpenter. While espresso isn't one of the ingredients in her new refresher drinks, it is in Dunkin's new Cereal N' Milk Latte mixed with marshmallowy cereal milk. The nostalgic drink even has its own merch. With Dunkin's fall menu available now, it has beaten out PSL-trendsetter Starbucks to the punch this year, with the upscale coffee chain releasing its fall menu on Aug. 26. Here are the new and returning favorites on Dunkin's fall menu. 🥣 Cereal N' Milk Latte The fast food chain is serving up bottom-of-the-bowl cereal goodness, and a kick of caffeine in a cup with its Cereal N' Milk Latte. Available hot or iced, the drink 'combines espresso with cereal milk for a marshmallow-cereal flavor that's creamy, rich and unmistakably nostalgic,' according to the company's news release. 'The idea came from the best part of eating cereal, that last bit of milk. We all remember finishing a bowl just to enjoy those final, sweet sips, which inspired our new Cereal N' Milk Latte,' said Anthony Epter, vice president of menu innovation at Dunkin', according to the release. 'With our very own cereal milk blended with rich espresso, the Cereal N' Milk Latte brings that marshmallow-flavored, bottom-of-the-bowl taste in every sip. Just like the Dunkalatte, it gives the classic latte a fun new twist.' For lovers of all things cereal and milk, Dunkin' released its own line of Cereal N' Milk gear, including T-shirts, sweaters and hats on its website. 🍓 Sabrina Carpenter's trio of Daydream Refreshers Singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter is back for an encore with her Daydream Refresher collab with Dunkin'. The drink is crafted with oatmilk and topped with cold foam and now comes in a trio of flavors, with mixed berry joining mango and strawberry. Dunkin' customers can create their own refresher by customizing their own drink bases, including green tea, black tea, lemonade, sparkling water, water or oatmilk, and flavors and amount of sweetness. 'More fun is brewing next month,' the company teased in the release, 'so fans can stay tuned to Dunkin's social channels for what's next.' 🎃 Pumpkin' at Dunkin' The Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte has entered the room, crowned with whipped cream, caramel and cinnamon sugar. For customers who don't want to take the plunge into fall just yet, a pumpkin flavor swirl can be added to any hot or iced coffee, cold brew or espresso drink. The following new and returning tasty treats have also landed on the menu: Iced Pumpkin Loaf Pumpkin Cake Donut Pumpkin Munchkins Donut Hole Treats Kreme Delight Donut (new) Chipotle Loaded Hash Browns (new) Maple Sugar Bacon Chipotle Hash Brown Wake-Up Wrap Ham and Swiss Croissant Stuffer Braided Apple Pie 💵 Dunkin' Deals For a limited time, the $6 meal deal is back. It comes with a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, hash browns and a medium hot coffee (14 oz.) or iced coffee (24 oz.). (The deal excludes espresso and cold brew beverages, seasoned bacon and loaded hash browns.) For members of the Dunkin' Rewards loyalty program, the following deals are available for a limited time: Now through Aug. 31: Get 10 Munchkins for $2 with a beverage purchase. Aug. 25-Oct. 27: Get 100 bonus points when you order ahead on Mondays. Sept. 1-15: If you buy a drink, you can get a braided apple pie for $1.
