Why this music
Because the book is gleefully unhinged — horror wrapped in carnival laughter — the playlist mixes unsettling circus textures with driving occult-thriller energy. Bright brassy chaos undercuts the dread the way Bill's grin undercuts his menace. It sharpens as the lore deepens, leaning darker when the multiverse starts to crack.
