It by Stephen King
It is one of Stephen King’s most iconic and terrifying novels, blending horror, nostalgia, and psychological depth. Originally published in 1986, this epic story follows a group of childhood friends who must confront an ancient, shape-shifting evil that haunts their small town of Derry, Maine.
Synopsis
In the summer of 1958, seven kids—Bill, Beverly, Ben, Richie, Eddie, Mike, and Stan—form the "Losers' Club" as they battle a malevolent entity that preys on children’s worst fears. The creature, often appearing as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, torments the town, feeding on its fear and suffering.
Years later, in 1985, the Losers’ Club members are called back to Derry when the killings begin again. Bound by a blood oath, they must face their deepest fears and take on the monster they barely survived as children. As the past and present intertwine, the battle against It becomes more than just a fight against an external evil—it is also a battle against trauma, memory, and the power of fear.
