Book Summary
This horror novel follows a group of children, known as the Losers' Club, in Derry, Maine, who are terrorized by an ancient, malevolent entity that preys on their fears. They confront and seemingly defeat it as children, only to be called back as adults to face the creature once more when it resurfaces.
ALIGNMYREAD RECOMMENDATION
