This is a monster book about a dark being that haunts the nightmares of children. Known only as ‘It’ by the few who know about It, this dark alien brings the fears of children to life before consuming their terror and ending their lives. Stephen King shows off his mastery of horror in this long, detailed story about seven children who faced It, wounded It, scared It, and drove It away. Twenty-seven years layer, It calls them back, wanting revenge for what they did to It, but has It made a fatal error in calling back the only ones who ever hurt It? Wavering between the past and present lives of the grown-up children, this book is a masterpiece of storytelling. With a lot of detail, this book is not for the faint of heart. Over a thousand pages of rich prose, some of it controversial, and once you read It, you will wonder every once in a while if It is out there in your town. Recommended for adults. No, seriously, you should be over eighteen. Consider this your warning of adult material.
