His friends also join his cause and he ends up becoming their leader.

The group gets united and they summon the strength and courage to face IT. They also come to a pact that if IT returns they will also return to face the same.

Review

It Audiobook by Stephen King received critical acclaim. It won the British Fantasy Award in 1987 and got nominated for the Locus and World Fantasy Award. Publisher’s Weekly listed it as the best-selling novel in the US in 1986. The plot is creepy and filled with horror and King’s narrative sends shivers down the reader’s spine.

The characters of the children and their horror and suffering has been craftily captured by the author. The novel is a timeless classic and one of the best horror novels ever written. This is a must-read for all readers and should not be missed.
