Saints and Shadows || Henry Creel

Fate was a fickle bitch. Ashley "Lee" Hamilton was seven, a spirited child with a promising future, when she learned this self-evident truth. It hit her like a bolt from the blue, sudden and excruciating, one summer day in Hawkins; the day she realized that she was entirely at the mercy of someone else.

In the fall of 1987, technical nurse Lee Hamilton is just trying to survive her own mind. For thirty years, she has been cursed with a "Mirrored Soul". But when her nephew starts talking to an imaginary friend named Mr. Whatsit, the tethers of her childhood curse begin to pull her straight into the arms of Hawkins' boogeyman.
