小說是謊言裡的真實,而這本小說裡的真實再簡單不過:魔幻確實存在。二十八年前,大雨灌滿德利市的那天閃過威廉的腦海──他寧可全忘了,但弟弟卡在排水溝慘死、淌血的相簿伸出「牠」的利爪的畫面,卻始終歷歷在目!理查德見過那本相簿,當年他們這群被霸凌的窩囊廢常聚在一起──不是早已把一切回憶都抹去了嗎?但那些比糞還難聞的往事總如影隨形,讓他忍不住想嘔吐!班恩、艾迪、貝芙莉都曾見過「牠」,但形態卻大不相同。有時候像木乃伊,散發著裹屍布的氣息;有時候像痲瘋病患,舌頭上爬滿了蟲子;有時候則從排水管裡冒血,並傳出聲音:「跟威廉說他弟弟向他問好。」二十八年後,唯一還住在德利市的麥可猶豫了很久,終於決定找回眾人一起面對「牠」,縱使那形同死亡的召喚!七個人之中,只有史丹利失約了。他用手指沾了自己的血,在浴室牆上留下此生最後一個字:牠……
Soon to be a major motion picture-Stephen King’s terrifying classic.
‘They float…and when you’re down here with me, you’ll float, too.’
To the children, the town was their whole world. To the adults, knowing better, Derry Maine was just their home town: familiar, well-ordered for the most part. A good place to live.
It was the children who saw – and felt – what made Derry so horribly different. In the storm drains, in the sewers, IT lurked, taking on the shape of every nightmare, each one’s deepest dread. Sometimes IT reached up, seizing, tearing, killing . . .
The adults, knowing better, knew nothing.
Time passed and the children grew up, moved away. The horror of IT was deep-buried, wrapped in forgetfulness. Until they were called back, once more to confront IT as IT stirred and coiled in the sullen depths of their memories, reaching up again to make their past nightmares a terrible present reality.
