IT by Stephen King

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 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.

Soft cover, which has seen better days!  It's creased and the book is obviously well-read.  1116 pages, all intact.
