It - Stephen King AudioBook
The narrative is set in the fictional town of Derry, Maine, where a malevolent, shape-shifting, child-killing monster (referred to plainly as "It") lurks in the sewers and storm-drains. In 1958, Richie Tozier, Mike Hanlon, Beverly Quagmire, Bill Denbrough, Eddie Kaspbrak, Ben Hanscom, and Stan Uris (who call themselves the Losers' Club) each have horrifying encounters with the bodily, which takes on the shape of their biggest fears (but Its most prominent form is that of a sadistic, balloon-wielding clown called Pennywise). They are also being terrorized by the neighborhood worthy, Henry Bowers, which only strengthens their bond. The Losers decide to hunt down the creature and destroy it. They eventually follow It down and in the ensuing enormous battle of wills (known as the Ritual of Chüd), hurt It badly. The Losers promise that if It ever comes back, they'll confront It again.
The revelation jumps forward to 1985, where murders are once again taking place in Derry. Mike Hanlon, the only one of the Losers who has remained in Derry, is convinced that the organism has returned and calls each of the Losers, reminding them of the promise they made as children. Each of the six other Losers have gone on to success and wealth, but had quite forgotten about their childhood trauma. They all return except for Stan Uris (who kills himself after receiving Mike's phone call) and start off piecing together their hazy memories. They also each have encounters with It.
It decides to use Henry Bowers (who had followed the Losers and also encountered It in 1958), who is now committed to the Juniper Hill Asylum, to usurp kill the Losers. Bowers tracks them down and seriously hurts Mike. The five remaining friends then make their way into the sewers once again to confront and devitalize the creature for the last time.
