Summer of Night (1991)
By Dan Simmons

A small town is taken over by mysterious underground beings. Only the local teens appear to notice.

You could say this was (likely) very inspired by King’s ‘It’, but it’s sufficiently different and does it’s own creepy thing.

It features one of the most shocking deaths I’ve read in any horror novel.
