   Summary

   Why was it so easy for Mike to release every fear he had when Will needed him? But then again, why do the stars explode into galaxies? Why does the moon yearn for the tide and rise? Why does anyone do anything for anyone at all? Why does a boy bring his friend into his arms to satiate what the body remembers? The answer is simple: It is what moves the sun and the stars and the thing they say makes a person crazy.

   “Do you see it, Michael?” Vecna says, his voice rumbling in the sound of the flickering lights. “Do you see it yet? Why I chose you too?”

   As Mike falls into a loop of fake memories from Vecna’s Curse, Will must find a way to save him using his connection to Vecna and the Hive Mind.

   A rewrite of volumes one and two with anything and everything that happened in the eighteen months the Byers lived with the Wheelers.
