Editor's Notes
 
Jim Burns's illustrations reveal all the terror and mystery of It, one of the truly great horror stories of the modern age, and Guillermo del Toro's personal introduction reveals why this is one of his must-read books – a book that has grown bigger than itself and now infuses much of our popular culture. Always horrifying, always creeping closer, It is where Pennywise began and it remains essential for any serious fan of the genre.
Synopsis
 

Stephen King’s It is reborn in a spectacular Folio Society limited edition – a single epic volume of horror and heart, gorgeously crafted and truly unsettling. Featuring a deeply personal introduction by Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro and chilling new artwork by legendary illustrator Jim Burns, this edition captures every sinister detail of King’s sprawling tale. Set in the town of Derry, Maine, the story follows a group of children – and later adults – as they confront a shape-shifting evil that feeds on fear. From sewers to storm drains, clowns to werewolves, the horrors they face are both supernatural and terrifyingly real. Burns’s illustrations bring the creature’s many incarnations to life, while David Curtis’s design work – from blood-red balloons to tattered typography – infuses every page and surface with dread. Signed by all three collaborators and limited to just 500 copies, this is It as you’ve never experienced it before.

Stephen King was born in Portland, Maine, in 1947. He graduated with a BA in English from the University of Maine at Orono in 1970, and taught high-school English in Hampden, Maine, before becoming a full-time writer in 1974, following the publication of his first book, Carrie. He is the author of more than 50 novels, all of them worldwide best-sellers, including Salem’s Lot (1975), Pet Sematary (1983, Folio 2023) and Misery (1987, Folio 2021). He has also written six works of non-fiction and nearly 200 short stories. Many of his books and novellas have been turned into celebrated films, and have earned him Bram Stoker Awards, World Fantasy Awards and British Fantasy Society Awards. In 2003 the National Book Foundation awarded King the Medal for Distinguished Contributions to American Letters, and in 2015 he received a National Medal of Arts from the United States National Endowment for the Arts for his contribution to literature.

Guillermo del Toro is a Mexican film director, screenwriter, producer and novelist. As a film-maker, he tends to alternate between Spanish-language dark fantasy pieces, such as Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), and more mainstream American action films such as Hellboy (2004) and the science-fiction film Pacific Rim (2013). His 2017 fantasy film The Shape of Water was critically acclaimed and won a Golden Lion at the 74th Venice International Film Festival, as well as the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2018. His new novel, Pan’s Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun, written in collaboration with Cornelia Funke, was published in 2019, with illustrations by artist Allen Williams. All of his work is characterised by a strong connection to fairy tales, political context and horror, and he attests to a lifelong fascination with the symbolic power of monsters.
