Summary
Will Byers lives a quiet, solitary life as a children's book illustrator, helping bring other people's stories to life—fixing lonely trees, drawing impossible worlds, and leaving pieces of himself on pages no one will ever know he touched.
Then, one cold night, he finds a stranger collapsed outside his apartment building. A young man who can't speak, pale, exhausted, and little more than skin and bones.
Will only means to offer him a warm place to sleep. A meal. A shower. A few days to recover.
He doesn't expect Mike to stay. He doesn't expect to learn how to understand him without words. And he certainly doesn't expect the silent stranger in his home to become part of the story Will has been trying to remember his entire life.

Summary
The students lean forward as one. No pens move. No pages turn.
“Writing,” Mike continues, “is what happens when the things you couldn’t say start demanding a form.”
Will’s jaw tightens.
“You don’t write because you’re imaginative, no,” Mike says. “You write because not writing becomes unbearable. Because there’s a version of you that never got to speak—and the page is the only place where it still might.”or
Mike is invited to attend a seminar at the very same college where Will teaches. It has been years since they last spoke. Also, Walt Whitman haunts the narrative.

Summary
It's 1997 and the ghost of Mike Wheeler walks back into Will Byers' life twice in one day: first in a Midtown coffee shop, then as the writer assigned to his graphic novel. Eight years of awkward distance now have a deadline. Collaboration is a special kind of torture when the person you're building a world with is the one who broke yours.

Summary
Richie Tozier knew he liked Will Byers since he was seven years old, the second the first time he heard Will laugh. Then, during the summer of 1985, Richie finally got the chance to shoot his shot, much to Mike Wheeler's annoyance. The two then fell in love and maintained a secret summer romance, which, for unexplained reasons, ended when Will moved to California. Then, four years later, they by chance end up as roommates at NYU. The unfortunate situation forces them both to confront their pasts, both individually and together. As they get to know each other again and slowly piece together their past, they determine whether or not their first love ever really ended.

Summary
"Chance bit the inside of his lip. Truthfully, part of him believed Jason’s Hellfire theory was a desperate story fueled by the grief of losing Chrissy, but the more Chance watched Hawkins fall apart, literally, the more he felt his old logic snap into place. Maybe Jason had been right, the town had a wound and something crawled out of it, something that hid in plain sight. Chance didn’t believe in revenge, the Bible says justice belonged to God or the law. But, if there really was an evil in this town, wouldn’t it be just as evil to do nothing about it? To let it happen?"
OR
After losing two of his friends in the Hawkins “earthquake,” Chance joins a church grief group that believes Will Byers is the vessel for Satan. To prove them wrong, Chance agrees to befriend Will, but the closer he gets, the more the lines between faith, fear, obsession and love start to blur.
