    Summary

    Hawkins has always needed a monster.
    Sometimes it builds one out of the boy who survived.

    After the basement confrontation, Will Byers walks into a night that feels heavier than the Upside Down ever did. A party invitation, a jealous Mike Wheeler, and a town hungry for rumors turn one bad decision into a wildfire. Old wounds reopen. New lies take root. And Will becomes the center of a story he never asked to be part of — the freak, the zombie, the boy who “came back wrong,” the one everyone whispers about when they think he can’t hear.

    As Hawkins closes in, friendships fracture, loyalties twist, and Will learns that surviving the supernatural was the easy part. Surviving the people who think they know him is something else entirely.
