Stranger Things (TV series)
Matthew J. Gilbert, The Duffer Brothers, Amy Rose Capetta, Brenna Yovanoff, Caitlin Schneiderhan, Suyi Davies Okungbowa, Adam Christopher, Gwenda Bond, Rana Tahir & Vera Strange · 14 novels · 9 short stories · 6 collections · 2019–2026
Stranger Things follows the residents of fictional Hawkins, Indiana, after a girl with psychokinetic abilities named Eleven accidentally opens a wormhole connecting Earth to a hostile parallel realm, blending 1980s coming-of-age drama with supernatural horror across the Duffer Brothers' Netflix series. The tie-in novels and story collections extend that world with original stories and character-focused side stories rather than simply retelling the show's episodes. The property has grown into a wider franchise including a stage play and an animated spinoff.
