Summary
Stephen King’s classic #1 New York Times bestseller and the basis for the massively successful films It: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two as well as inspiration for HBO Max’s series It: Welcome to Derry—about 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 to 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).

Editorial Review

Listen at your own risk: this terrifying horror book will shock even the most seasoned terror lovers with its gruesome and twisted story of a clown that is something so much more sinister.

Stephen King’s It is a dark and horrifying tale of a dangerous alien entity that hides within sewers and feasts on children. With all the staples of a classic Stephen King tale, this story is traumatic, twisted, stuttering, disturbing, and a standout in great American literature. It will get under your skin and will leave you feeling haunted. Originally written in the 1980s, this story is not a new book yet has not lost any of its mysterious powers. It remains a favourite of Stephen King and horror fans alike. The original evil clown has shaped the fears and misgivings of a generation. King’s novel expertly builds tension and fear, enticing you and drawing you in a while, creating suspense and a deep sense of unrest. If you’re a fan of horror books, you won’t be able to pause this gripping and disturbing story. Terrorizing and torturing the characters of the Losers Club, like Ben, Richie, Eddie, Mike, Bill and Bev, and returning twenty-seven years later, the sinister ways of Pennywise the Clown have reached infamous levels of recognition in pop culture. This favourite book of many also inspired a major motion picture ( It and It: Two).

Steven Weber captures all the mood and creepiness needed for this iconic bestseller in his narration of the audiobook adaptation, adding suspense and building mystery in all the right places. He delivers an impeccable performance so compelling that you may not want to listen to this one alone at night.

I picked up this audiobook on a wim, not expecting to love it nearly as much as I did honestly. I am recommending this book to everyone I know now, more specifically I am recommending this audiobook since the narrator is so engaging, I hope to see Steven Weber narrate more of Stephen King's work.
