　　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……

It: Chapter Two--now a major motion picture

Stephen King's terrifying, classic #1 New York Times bestseller, "a landmark in American literature" (Chicago Sun-Times)--about seven adults who return to their hometown to confront a nightmare they had first stumbled on as teenagers...an evil without a name: It.

Welcome to Derry, Maine. It's a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city's children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry's sewers.

Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It.

"Stephen King's most mature work" (St. Petersburg Times), "It will overwhelm you...to be read in a well-lit room only" (Los Angeles Times).
