ONE BESTSELLING BOOK, TWO MAJOR MOTION PICTURES: the blockbusting film of It (2017) will be followed by IT CHAPTER TWO in 2019!

Welcome to Derry, Maine. At first glance, this quaint town is just like any other: familiar, well-ordered, and seemingly a pleasant place to raise a family. But beneath the surface lies an ancient, shape-shifting horror that has haunted Derry for decades.

It tells the tale of a group of young friends who become united by their terrifying encounters with a monstrous entity that takes on the form of their darkest fears. Known most famously as the malevolent clown Pennywise, this creature emerges from the town’s sewers to prey on the innocent, leaving a trail of unspeakable horror in its wake.

Years pass and the children grow up, leading separate lives far from Derry. They bury the memories of their shared trauma, only to be drawn back together as adults when the killings start again. Bound by an unbreakable promise, they must confront their deepest fears to defeat the evil that has terrorised their hometown for generations.

Stephen King masterfully interweaves past and present, childhood and adulthood, to explore themes of friendship, trauma, and the enduring strength required to overcome the darkest of horrors. The vivid characterisations and richly detailed world of Derry create an immersive experience that will captivate, terrify, and deeply move readers.

"They float... and when you're down here with me, you'll float, too."

Prepare yourself for a journey into the heart of fear with It, a timeless masterpiece that not only stands as a pillar of horror fiction but also Hollywood's cinematic legacy.
