It is a group of children who see – and feel – what makes Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, It lurks, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one’s deepest dread.Sometimes is appears as an evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes It reaches up, seizing, tearing, killing… Time passes and the children grow up, move away and forget.Until they are called back, once more to confront It as It stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories, emerging again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality; Contents: 1: The shadow before -- After the flood (1957) -- After the festival (1984) -- Six phone calls (1985) -- 2: June of 1958 -- Ben Hanscomb takes a fall -- Bill Denbrough beats the devil (I) -- One of the missing: a tale from the Summer of '58 -- The dam in the Barrens -- Georgie's room and the house on Neibolt Street -- Cleaning up -- 3: Grownups -- The reunion -- Walking tours -- Three uninvited guests -- 4: July of 1958 -- The apocalyptic rockfight -- The album -- The smoke-hole -- Eddie's bad break -- Another one of the missing: the death of Patrick Hockstetter -- The bullseye -- 5: The ritual of Chüd -- In the watches of the night -- The circle closes -- Under the city -- The ritual of Chüd -- Out -- Epilogue: Bill Denbrough beats the devil (II) ER -
