Description.

During a heavy rainstorm in Derry Maine six-year-old George "Georgie" Denbrough is chasing a paper boat that was given to him by his older brother Bill down a gutter. The boat is washed down a storm drain and Georgie peers in seeing a pair of glowing yellow eyes. Georgie is confronted by a man dressed in a silver clown suit who introduces himself as "Mr. Bob Gray" a.k.a. "Pennywise the Dancing Clown". Pennywise offers Georgie a balloon which he cautiously refuses. The clown then entices Georgie to reach into the drain to retrieve his boat; he then severs Georgie’s arm and leaves him to bleed to death. The following June Benjamin "Ben" Hanscom an overweight eleven-year-old boy is harassed by a gang of bullies led by the feared Henry Bowers. On the last day of school Ben hides from his tormentors in the Barrens after an altercation with the Bowers Gang. Ben befriends Edward "Eddie" Kaspbrak and William "Bill" Denbrough Georgie's older brother. The three boys later befriend fellow misfits Richard "Richie" Tozier Stanley "Stan" Uris and Beverly "Bev" Marsh forming the "Losers Club". In July of the same summer the Losers are joined by Michael "Mike" Hanlon. As the summer draws on the Losers realize that they've each had an encounter with a seemingly omniscient prehistoric shape-shifting alien entity which takes the form of whatever they fear the most: Ben as a mummy Eddie as a leper Bill as Georgie's ghost Richie as a werewolf Stan as two drowned boys Mike as a flesh eating bird that vaguely resembles Rodan and Beverly as a fountain of blood spurting from her bathroom sink. Due to the unknown origin of the monster the Losers refer to the creature as "It" and link It with a series of recent child murders including that of Edward "Eddie" Corcoran who is killed by the monster in the form of the Gill-man. The Losers begin to suspect that It has control over Derry due to the number of unsolved disappearances and violent tragedies which go unnoticed or seem to be forgotten by the adults in the town. They begin to investigate It's origins discovering that It arrived in Derry millions of years ago. The Losers also learned that It awakens every 27 years from a slumber in the town's sewers usually after a terrible event or tragedy and feeds for 12–16 months. The Losers decide to put an end to It and Ben makes two silver slugs out of a silver dollar believing that silver will harm It. The kids go to the house on Neibolt Street where Eddie Bill and Richie had previously encountered It. It attacks them in the form of a werewolf. However Beverly shoots a slug from Bill's slingshot injuring It and causing It to flee back to the sewers. Two weeks later Beverly returns home but her abusive father attacks her and attempts to rape and kill her but Beverly escapes. Henry accompanied by his two closest friends Victor "Vic" Criss and Reginald "Belch" Huggins chases the Losers into the sewers with the intention of killing them. The narrative changes and "It" informs the reader that it existed originally in a void between our universe and others in a dimension known as the Macroverse boasting of It's superiority to anything on Earth. It also explains that it chooses to prey on children because their fears are easier to interpret in a physical form. It expresses its own fear that It might not be the only eternal being in existence. It suspects there might be Another and that the children could be the agents of this Other. This might explain their power and unprecedented ability to harm It. Back in the sewers It attacks the three bullies in the form of Frankenstein's monster ripping Vic's head off and mutilating Belch's face. Henry driven insane from seeing his friends killed chases after the Losers and gets lost. He eventually washes out of the sewers into a nearby river and is blamed for all of the child murders. Meanwhile Bill discovers the "Ritual of Chüd" allowing him to enter the Macroverse to confront It and discover It's true form; a mass of destructive orange lights referred to as the "Deadlights". During the ritual Bill also encounters "The Turtle" an ancient being possibly more ancient than It that created the universe while vomiting after a stomach-ache
