The thing

Author's Name: Stephen King

Seven friends return to their hometown to confront a horrifying nightmare they first encountered as boys... an evil that has no name... something--Welcome to the northern town of Derry, Maine. It's just as ordinary a small town as your hometown, but in Derry, there's something terrifying lurking beneath the familiarity. They were seven children when they stumbled into this nightmare. Now they're grown men and women out into the wide world in pursuit of success and happiness. But an old promise they made twenty-eight years ago reunites them, bringing them back to the place where they battled the insatiable evil that feeds on the town's children. The killings have started again, and now, the seven of them's repressed memories of their horrific summer in Derry are returning as they prepare to once again confront the monster that makes Derry's sewers its home. Readers of Stephen King know that Derry has a powerful, dark hold on a man's imagination. It has appeared in many of his books, including The Dreamcatcher, Bag of Bones, Hearts in Atlantis, and 63/22/11... but it all began with: The Thing
