MAJOR MOTION PICTURE, IT: CHAPTER 2, ADAPTED FROM KING'S TERRIFYING
CLASSIC 27 years later, the Losers Club have grown up and moved
away, until a devastating phone call brings them back... Derry,
Maine was just an ordinary town: familiar, well-ordered for the
most part, a good place to live. It was a group of 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 IT appeared as an
evil clown named Pennywise and sometimes IT reached up, seizing,
tearing, killing . . . Time passed and the children grew up, moved
away and forgot. THEN they are called back, once more to confront
IT as IT stirs and coils in the sullen depths of their memories,
emerging again to make their past nightmares a terrible present
reality... 'They'll float...and when you're down here with me,
you'll float too'
A tree and its impact on the inhabitants of a nearby cottage and
manor house over the last century or so is the theme of this
compelling tale. We enter a world where humans and spirits mingle
with sometimes surprising results. The setting is the remote but
beautiful wilds of the Yorkshire moors. You will come to understand
the harshness of the winters and the tragedy the cottage and manor
house has seen through the years; the pain and anguish of the
residents is firmly lodged in the walls of thee buildings. What
sights they have seen, what memories they hold, what a fertile
breeding ground for the host of spirits and souls that burst from
the pages of this surprising and original story. We discover a host
of beings, and have the opportunity to enter the lives of a
multitude of compelling characters as we journey from a time when
living was usually simple and unsophisticated into the end of the
last century where the focus of all our lives changed dramatically.
