    Summary

    Steve didn't know how to explain it. One moment, he was looking at Dustin, the kid he'd become absurdly attached to over the past semester, and then something shifted. In the next breath, Dustin was... different. Light brown hair had sprouted all over his face, smooth and straight and so unlike the curly mop still on top of his head. His nose had changed, the bridge gone flatter and wider, the end still hairless but now a deep dark brown, like a dog's. Underneath his nose, his lip was cleft, opened wide so Steve could see even more clearly the gap where Dustin's teeth should be. On either side of the cleft, whiskers sprouted, white and long.

     

    His eyes were the same, though. Dustin's eyes, staring out of a beaver's face.

     

    or:

    In the months before his graduation, Steve uncovers another layer to the madness that's colored the last two years of his life, one tied inextricably to the Harrington family. With the help of Dustin and El, he deals with all the realization means for him, but peace never lasts in Hawkins. As kids start to go missing in the towns around Hawkins, rumors start to whisper about the solitary Munsons, a family as tied to Hawkins as the Harringtons.
