¿Quién o qué mutila y mata a los niños de un pequeño pueblo norteamericano? ¿Por qué llega cíclicamente el horror a Derry en forma de un payaso siniestro que va sembrando la destrucción a su paso?

Esto es lo que se proponen averiguar los protagonistas de esta novela. Tras veintisiete años de tranquilidad y lejanía, una antigua promesa infantil les hace volver al lugar en el que vivieron su infancia y juventud como una terrible pesadilla. Regresan a Derry para enfrentarse con su pasado y enterrar definitivamente la amenaza que los amargó durante su niñez. Saben que pueden morir, pero son conscientes de que no conocerán la paz hasta que aquella cosa sea destruida para siempre.

It es una de las novelas más ambiciosas de Stephen King, con la que ha logrado perfeccionar de un modo muy personal las claves del género de terror. En opinión de los críticos, una novela «insuperable» (La Vanguardia).

Work Description

"It" is a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. "It" was his 22nd book and his 17th novel written under his own name. The story follows the experiences of seven children as they are terrorized by an evil entity that exploits the fears of its victims to disguise itself while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown to attract its preferred prey of young children.

The novel won the British Fantasy Award in 1987, and received nominations for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards that same year.

In 2003, "It" was listed at number 144 on the BBC's The Big Read poll.
