It

A landmark in American literature (Chicago Sun-Times) Stephen King s #1 national bestseller about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled on as teenagers an evil without a name: It. 

 

Welcome to Derry, Maine. It s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real. 

 

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry s sewers. 

 

Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It. 

 

Stephen King s most mature work (St. Petersburg Times), It will overwhelm you to be read in a well-lit room only (Los Angeles Times)."
