Description



About the Book



They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they were grown-up men and women who had gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But none of them could withstand the force that drew them back to Derry, Maine, to face the nightmare without an end, and the evil without a name.



Book Synopsis



A gorgeous, 40th anniversary hardcover edition of Stephen King's classic #1 New York Times bestseller and the basis for the massively successful films It: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two as well as inspiration for HBO Max's series It: Welcome to Derry--about 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).



Review Quotes




Praise for Stephen King and It

"The indisputable King of Horror." --Time

"A mesmerizing odyssey of terror... Stephen King is the master of modern horror. He writes like one possessed, never cheats the reader, always gives full measure... He is brilliant... dark and sinister." --The Washington Post Book World

"Vintage King... a magnum opus of terror... just a glance at the first few pages, and you can't put this novel aside." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"Epic... gargantuan... breathlessly accelerating suspense... the Moby Dick of horror novels." ---Los Angeles Herald Examiner

"A great book... a landmark in American literature." --Chicago Sun-Times

"King is our great storyteller... I imagine him as a possessed figure rocking over a smoking word processor, hunting for a beat his sentences can dance to, pounding the shocks and scares like a rock organist laying down the power chords." --Los Angeles Herald-Examiner

"A ghoul's delight... a good old-fashioned chill and shiver fest... as creepy as the finest of that genre." --Kansas City Star

" King's most ambitious project... reads as if written in a white heat!" --San Jose Mercury News
