When Em's dreams are shattered and it's looking like she'll be forced to stay in a life she doesn't feel she fits into, she becomes listless. To make matters worse, she stumbles into something really, really dangerous the summer after her senior year of high school. Something deadly. Something monstrous.

WHISTLEBLOWER | ❝It only gets stranger.❞ Hawkins has never looked back on the events of November 1983. They know the surface-level story. 'The boy who came back to life.' Will Byers is alive and well, while the futile search for Tonya McCarthy and Barbara Holland continues. But for Cath, Daphne and their friends, their reality is quite different. Hidden under shady confidentiality agreements are secrets of dark human experiments, other dimensions and the lost souls in there. By the November of 1984, a year later, there is barely anything left inside them to be eaten up by guilt. It is only a matter of time before cracks start to show...

PARANORMAL | ❝Nothing is stranger than believing.❞ Cath knows a thing or two about Will Byers. Daphne, on the other hand, knows virtually nothing about Tonya McCarthy. Still, none of that changes the fact that both of them have up and vanished within days of each other, sparking unprecedented concern in their sleepy little town. Hawkins will never be the same, that's for sure... but was it ever that simple? Was it ever as comfortably predictable as Cath preferred it, or as painfully mundane as Daphne made it out to be? Piece by piece, the sisters may be proven wrong as the missing persons lead the trail to a case much larger - a head-splitting world of secret government experiments, inter-dimensional monsters and telekinetic powers.
