   Summary

   When the Byers move to the outskirts of a town shrouded in mist, Will thinks he's finally safe from the monsters. He is wrong.

   It starts with a prickle on the back of his neck. Then, sketches. Then, the shadow that follows him. Will finds himself trapped between a past that won't let go and someone who promises to understand his darkness... By becoming the very thing that consumes him.
