With the premiere of Stranger Things Season 4 Volume 2, Netflix’s pop culture phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down. Since its release, the previous season has inspired everything from plant-based Chik’n nuggets, to clothing and accessories collections at Hot Topic and Target. It might be up to two years before the next season, so we’ll just have to wear our Hellfire Club hearts on our sleeves until then.

The book also includes interviews with the stars of the show, and a rare glimpse into the casting calls that went out for their roles. Fans will also get to read the early episodes’ original drafts, and get answers to pressing questions about Hawkins, the Upside Down and the characters’ unique ticks and talents (I.e. finally crack the Morse code disk Eleven uses and learn how to decipher secret messages in the show).
Note: this book has been designed to mimic a used book (like the ones seen in the series). The marks, scuffs, and tears on the cover and pages are intentional.
