Overview

It: Chapter Two--soon to be a major motion picture in 2019

Stephen King's terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, "a 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.

"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).

  • A Must Read For Horror Lovers

    Samantha-Anne S. - 1 year 7 months ago

    Stephen King delivers an excellent novel with his "It." The novel has two narratives running parallel throughout the book, a timeline for the main characters as children and a timeline as adults. The novel takes it time to fully develop the plot and characters in order to ensure that the reader is able to be fully immersed in the world. Well written, very imaginative, and of course creepy, "It" is a fantastic read.

  • Horrifying

    Christina C. - 4 years 9 months ago

    The terror, which would not end for another 28 years if it ever did end began, as far as I know or can tell, with a boat made from newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rain. Peering into a storm drain George Denbrough gives us our first glimpse of Pennywise the Dancing Clown who terrorizes the small town of Derry, Maine. In this town, the adults are indifferent to the strange disappearances going on. Seven children known as the Losers Club face off against IT and send it back into slumber for another twenty-eight years. As adults, they reunite one last time to defeat the creature and his deadlights. Stephen Kings novel is a coming of age story hidden inside the guise of a horror novel and I highly recommend it.

  • First Edition Printing of It

    Jason B. - 5 years 3 months ago

    This was an incredible find! It is a first edition printing in amazing condition, and Half Price Books sold it for a fraction of what others are selling it for.

  • Don't be intimidated by the size: it's worth it!

    HPB S. - 5 years 9 months ago

    It's incredible how King is able to invent such a rich, detailed, and intriguing world that stays this way throughout over eleven hundred pages! Truly one of the cornerstone novels of the horror genre. #SummerReading

  • Truly Scary

    Mauricio C. - 5 years 10 months ago

    The end blows. But it doesn't demerit the rest of a brilliantly written book that hooks you from the very beginning and scares the hell out of you. #SummerReading
