IT (REISSUES) Paperback

Seven children in Derry, Maine face something that wears a clown's face and feeds on fear, then return as adults to finish what they started. Stephen King runs two timelines against each other, cutting between the summer the Losers' Club first fought the thing beneath their town and the reunion decades later, when memory has faded and the pattern has begun again. The novel gives as much room to childhood friendship, bullying and small-town rot as it does to horror, and its 1184 pages make it one of King's longest single works. Content is violent and disturbing in places, so it belongs with adult readers. Reader guidance: • King's Derry novel in a 1184-page paperback reissue • Two interleaved timelines, childhood and adulthood • Small-town social detail alongside sustained horror • A long-form commitment rather than a quick read Recommended for adult horror readers and for anyone working through King's major novels, published by Hodder & Stoughton and available from Boipoka.
