It is
a 1986 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The story
follows the exploits of seven children as they are terrorized by
the eponymous inter-dimensional predatory life-form that exploits
the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself
while hunting its prey. "It" primarily appears in the form of
"Pennywise the Dancing Clown"" a.k.a. "Bob Gray", described by
characters who see It as resembling a combination of Bozo,
Clarabell and Ronald McDonald, in order to attract its preferred
prey of young children. The novel is told through narratives
alternating between two time periods and is largely told in the
third-person omniscient mode. It deals with themes which would
eventually become King staples: the power of memory, childhood
trauma and the ugliness lurking behind a façade of traditional
small-town values. The novel won the British Fantasy Award in 1987,
and received nominations for the Locus and World Fantasy Awards
that same year. Publishers Weekly listed It as the best-selling
book in America in 1986.
