1958, the day school let out for the summer.
That was the day Henry Bowers carved the first
letter of his name on Ben Hanscom's belly and
chased him into the Barrens, the day Henry
and his Neanderthal friends beat up on Stutter-
ing Bill Denbrough and Eddie Kaspbrak, the
day Stuttering Bill had to save Eddie from his
worst asthma attack ever by riding his bike to
beat the devil. It ended in August, with seven
desperate children in search of a creature of
unspeakable evil in the drains bneath Derry. In
search of It. And somehow it ended.
Or so they thought. Then.
On a spring night in 1985 mike Hanlon, once
one of those children, makes six calls. Stan
Uris, accountant. Richie "Records" Tozier, L.A.
disc jockey. Ben Hanscom, renowned architect.
Beverly Rogan, dress designer. Eddie Kaspbrak,
owner of a successful New York limousine
company. And Bill Denbrough, bestselling writ-
er of horror nevels, Bill Denbrough who now
only stutters in dreams.
These six men and one woman have forgotten
their childhoods, have forgotten the time when
they were Losers... but an unremembered
promise draws them back, the present begins to
rhyme dreadfully with the past, and when the
Losers reunite, the wheels of fate lock together
and roll them toward the ultimate terror.
Stephen King 1986 |
