Inhoud

Derry: a small city in Maine, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own home town. Only in Derry, the haunting is real... In the sewers and storm-drains beneath the streets, in the canals and wastelands beyond them, something is lurking... In Stephen King's extraordinary new novel, a group of schoolfriends grow up in 1950s Derry. The call themselves the Losers. Yet, as seven desperate children, they face the unimaginable terror that is IT and, in a way, they win. Or at least they survive. Now, twenty-five years later, Derry Librarian Mike Hanlon, once one of those children, must hold the rest to a long-forgotten promise. From all acoross America, and in one case from Engeland, they are summoned to confront again a horror that in their successful careers they had sought to obliterate from memory. And when that fateful call comes - to Bill Denbrough, writer; to Stanley Uris, accountant; to Richie "Records" Tozier, disc jockey; to Beverly Rogan, dress designer; to Ben Hanscom, achitect, and to Eddie Kaspbrak, celebrity limousine driver - when the memories of those childhood days are reawakened, when the present begins to rhyme inexorably with the past, the Losers are reunited and nothing can stop their lives from running towards a truly terrifying climax.
