IT

Narrated by Steven Weber

Written by Stephen King

Stephen King's "IT" is a masterful blend of horror and coming-of-age storytelling. The novel follows the harrowing experiences of seven friends in the small town of Derry, Maine, as they confront an ancient, shape-shifting evil that preys on their deepest fears and phobias.

In alternating narratives between 1958 and 1985, King weaves a gripping tale of childhood trauma and its echoes in adulthood. The "Losers' Club" of outcasts must first battle the terrifying entity known as "IT" during their youth, only to be summoned back as adults to finish what they started. With vividly realized characters, bone-chilling scares, and profound themes of memory, friendship, and sacrifice, "IT" stands as a seminal work that transcends the horror genre.
