It

Welcome to Derry, Maine: a small town that feels eerily familiar, like any ordinary hometown, except that in Derry, the darkness is real.

Seven teenagers first encountered that horror there. Years later, they are adults who have built lives far from the town, chasing success and stability. But a promise they made twenty-eight years ago draws them back to the place where, as children, they faced a monstrous force that preyed on Derry’s young. Now, as a new wave of child murders begins, long-buried memories of that summer resurface, forcing them to confront the evil that still waits beneath the streets.

For readers of Stephen King, Derry is a recurring setting that haunts many of his works, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But its story begins here, with It.
