About this audiobook

Stephen King’s classic #1 New York Times bestseller and the basis for the massively successful films It: Chapter One and It: Chapter Two as well as inspiration for HBO Max’s series It: Welcome to Derry—about an evil without a name: It.

Welcome to Derry, Maine. It’s a small city, a place as hauntingly familiar as your own hometown. Only in Derry the haunting is real.

They were seven teenagers when they first stumbled upon the horror. Now they are grown-up men and women who have gone out into the big world to gain success and happiness. But the promise they made twenty-eight years ago calls them reunite in the same place where, as teenagers, they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Now, children are being murdered again and their repressed memories of that terrifying summer return as they prepare to once again battle the monster lurking in Derry’s sewers.

Readers of Stephen King know that Derry, Maine, is a place with a deep, dark hold on the author. It reappears in many of his books, including Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 11/22/63. But it all starts with It.

“Stephen King’s most mature work” (St. Petersburg Times), “It will overwhelm you…to be read in a well-lit room only” (Los Angeles Times).

This story has close to 100 speaking roles and thus it is ( mostly ) unbelievable for any person to do all the voices for people even for the ones who barely have dialogue with complete distinction. I wish the Graphic Audio studio people ( as a matter of fact I wish they did all fictional story audio books ) produced this because this is an epic story that needs an independent vocalist for each role. The narrator does try and his performance in delivery is good but numerous voices were the same.

Awesome listen. The voice actor really put his heart into this one. My only complaint is with whoever did the editing. Sentances are often cut off at the last word/syllable. I had no issue following along, and got used to it eventually. But it was certainly jarring at first. Don't let that stop you from giving this a go however. I would highly recommend.

Stephen King’s It is a masterclass in horror. The story grips you from the very first page, weaving childhood fears and adult horrors into a chilling, unforgettable tale. The characters feel real, the tension is relentless, and King’s attention to detail makes the town of Derry come alive. It’s terrifying, heartbreaking, and impossible to put down.
