It: A Novel

It: Chapter Two€"now a major motion picture!

Stephen King€s terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, €œa landmark in American literature€ (Chicago Sun-Times)€"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.

€œStephen King€s most mature work€ (St. Petersburg Times), €œIt will overwhelm you€¦to be read in a well-lit room only€ (Los Angeles Times).
