The Stranger Things book series is a multi-author tie-in franchise expanding the Netflix show’s universe. The novels explore character backstories and untold stories from Hawkins, Indiana. Suyi Davies Okungbowa is among the contributing authors to this franchise, which spans novels, graphic novels, and companion books.
Suspicious Minds (2019) goes back to the 1960s to tell Eleven’s mother’s story, while Darkness on the Edge of Town (2019) fills in Chief Hopper’s past in New York City. Runaway Max (2019) covers Max Mayfield’s life before she arrived in Hawkins. Rebel Robin (2021) and Lucas on the Line (2022) give supporting characters their own spotlight. Flight of Icarus (2023) follows Eddie Munson’s backstory.
The books are written for a young adult audience and can be read independently of each other. They work best as companion pieces to the show, giving context to characters and events that the episodes don’t have time to explore fully.
