HSA vs IT: Chapter 31

There have been no more missing or dead children in the city of Lancaster. The season of terror is finally over – or so the adults believe.

Having stared into Its yellow eyes and felt Its teeth tear at her skin, she knows, perhaps more than anyone else what IT has in store for them all. But what can one lonely fat girl do in the face of an ancient shape-shifting creature? Hopeless, lonely and dreading the start of term in just over a week, Emily will soon come face to face with one nightmare that will remind her just how powerful she can really be. With or without friends. Emily Fox needs to end this – once and for all.

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?

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.
