There’s something wrong with Erika. A problem that needs to be solved before it grows any bigger. She’s fourteen and pregnant and on the road to ending up just like her drug addict mother. And that isn’t an option for Erika. She must take care of this latest problem. End it once and for all – wasn’t that what she’d promised the Losers at the Burrow Beck? Hadn’t she failed then too? Unlike IT, there is only one way to solve this problem and with her pregnancy a secret from everyone but Emily, who refuses to accompany her, Erika must face the abortion of this baby alone. Or will she?

HSA vs IT: Chapter 28

It’s been ten days since the events at Pathfinders House. Ten days since the eight pieces of this group of Losers were scattered and lost to the wind. Ten days since Emily was almost killed by IT; saved only by her golden cross. In that time, the Losers have licked their wounds and begun to yearn for normality. But what is normality now? Hanging out down the Burrow Beck smoking Sam’s weed? Or cycling off on missions in order to discover a way to kill an all-powerful being older than their city – maybe older than time itself. What is normal for these eight teenagers when their lives are crumbling around them and the child-killer is still on the loose? Who will IT take next? Dominic, for one, doesn’t know. But he does know one thing. How to kill IT.
