As fun as a book like this might be, not having Eddie around for Stranger Things 5 is a real missed opportunity (instead of killing off. Half a dozen established characters would have made better deaths with more meaningful sacrifices, but the Duffer Brothers and Netflix played it safe. The problem with killing off Quinn’s character is that he was just a lot more likable and interesting than so many of the remaining established characters, and because he was new his death felt obligatory rather than earned.

But without Joseph Quinn, it’s hard for me to imagine we’ll really get the full Eddie experience. Well, who knows? This could be a fun new adventure to go on for fans of Eddie Munson and Stranger Things. It's a risk, but if it pays off he will finally have a one-way ticket out of Hawkins.Įddie can feel it: 1984 is going to be his year. His dad just stumbled back into his life, with another dubious scheme up his sleeve, and yet Eddie knows this is his only option to make enough dough in enough time. But he's willing to do whatever it takes: even if that means relying on his old man, Al Munson. But the best thing? She's offering a chance for him to make something of himself, and all he needs is to get her a demo tape of Corroded Coffin's best songs. Not only is she the definition of a badass - with a killer taste in music - she might be the only person that actually appreciates him as the bard he is instead of the devil incarnate. She escaped Hawkins and built a wickedly cool life for herself working for a record producer out in Los Angeles. It's at the worst dive bar in town that Eddie meets Paige, someone who has pulled off a freaking miracle. And what is senior year, really, but just killing time between Dungeons & Dragons sessions with the Hellfire Club and gigs with his band?

Luckily, he only has a few more months to survive at Hawkins High. But for Eddie Munson it's like living in a perpetual Tomb of Horrors. Here’s the synposis: Hawkins, Indiana - for most, it's simply another idyllic, manicured all-American town. The book takes place two years before the events in the show, in 1984, and deals with some of Eddie’s pre- Stranger Things shenanigans, including his efforts to make a name with his band Corroded Coffin. Entertainment Weekly reported on the new prequel novel and has the cover art if you want to check it out. Instead, Munson is getting an origin story novel, Flight Of Icarus, written by author Caitlin Schneiderhan, who also happens to be a writer on the show’s fifth season.
