Summary
Here’s the thing about the end of the world:
You don’t expect it.
But it’s alright, because you learn to live. And Etho has done exactly that for the last ten years of his life. It’s simple, really; butcher as many undead bastards as possible, and hope that they take a long time to regenerate. As much as Etho wishes that they could actually kill the ‘backies’, as he calls them, it’s just not possible.
So when he meets someone who can stop the undead in their very tracks, he doesn’t know what to do. Even worse? He’s now indebted to this mysterious person with something more precious than anything.
His life.

Summary
Mike Wheeler is a writer with the worst case of writer's block he's ever had. Will Byers is an artist who won't show his art to anyone but Mike. They're best friends, roommates in a cramped Chicago apartment with walls so thin Mike can hear every breath Will takes at night.
It's fine. It's normal. They've always been close—closer than most friends, maybe, but that doesn't mean anything. The way Mike's heart races when Will touches him is just... a physical thing. Just chemistry. Nothing more.
Then Will starts dating Chance—confident, charming, everything Mike isn't, and suddenly "fine" becomes impossible.
Mike should be happy for him. Should let him go. Should not be lying awake at night thinking about the way Will laughs, the curve of his neck, the fact that every time Will comes home smelling like someone else's cologne, something in Mike's chest feels like it's breaking.
And he definitely shouldn't be doing something about it.
But when stolen touches turn into stolen kisses, and stolen kisses turn into something they can't take back, Mike realizes some lines aren't meant to be crossed—and some are impossible not to.

Summary
“You can’t keep bringing people down on whatever fucking sinking ship you’re sailing, Mikey.”
“Sinking ship?” Mikey gawked, keeping his voice below a whisper. “What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“I’m saying,” the man said, bringing his face close to Mikey’s once again. Too close in this kind of environment. His heart was pounding in his ears. “You’re digging a hole for yourself, and one day it’s gonna cave in. And I won’t be there when it does. I don’t think anyone will.”

Summary
Once upon a time, in the Great Persian Jungle, a scorpion came to a turtle for help. “Dear friend,” the scorpion began, “I need to reach the other side of the river, but I cannot swim. Would you be so kind as to carry me across?”
The turtle hesitated. “But what if you sting me while we’re crossing? I could die.”
“Why would I do such a thing?” the scorpion scoffed. “If I stung you, we would both drown.”
The turtle was reassured, and she allowed the scorpion to climb upon his shell.
When they were midway across the river, the scorpion stung the turtle, but the turtle’s shell was thick, and the stinger could not get through.
The turtle was deeply troubled.
“Why did you do that?” she demanded.
The scorpion sighed, “It was not out of malice or ingratitude, my friend. It was an irresistible and indiscriminate urge to sting. It is in my nature."
Where Mikey is a vampire. Pete is Pete.

Summary
Warcross is the most popular video game in the world. Everyone has NeuroLink glasses or contacts to connect to the virtual world and enhance their everyday life, including Will Byers, who loves to play Warcross more than anything else.
The virtual reality game offers a fun escape that he’s enjoyed his whole life. Enter a unique map, collect power-ups, twist the game to your favor, and steal the opposing team’s artifact. It’s as easy as that.
He’s played for years, and his high rank shows his obvious skill, even though he’s nowhere near the levels of professional Warcross players, who both stream and record content for viewers online and also compete in the annual in-person Warcross tournament hosted by the owner company: Brenner Games. The whole world tunes in to watch how the teams conquer the digitized maps and obstacles as they fight for fame and fortune.
During Will’s summer break, the about-to-be-senior in high school’s life is changed with one single match, and suddenly he’s thrown under the spotlight as an emerging Wildcard –a new up-and-coming player added to a professional team– and competing alongside famous players such as Max Mayfield, Dustin Henderson, and Mike Wheeler.
