C. Cooger, the cast of characters in this book is particularly spellbinding: carnival workers like the conductive “Electrico Man,” the boys’ seventh grade teacher who morphs into a blind child, and a “Dust Witch” who plagues the boys’ dreams. Luckily, accompanying these nail-biting episodes are flashbacks to Will’s friends, who lend him imaginary encouragement and even maneuvers he can use to outsmart the Demogorgon… inspired by none other than their old Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. Terry hears about a government experiment code-named MKULTRA taking place in the small town of Hawkins.

Gwenda Bond is the New York Times bestselling author of many novels, including the first official Stranger Things novel, Suspicious Minds.
