He was the star character of the fourth season of stranger things and although it seemed that his boom had already been forgotten, some are determined to continue exploiting his character with the launch… of a book! what you are reading The rocker and certainly geek Eddie Munson He is going to have his own novel related to the universe of the Netflix series in which we will discover things that we did not know about him. A novel also written by someone closely related to the filming of the show. We tell you the details.
Eddie Munson, the star of the last season of Stranger Things
We could say that each season, stranger things has given us a favorite character, someone who has been permanently in the conversation without even being part of the main cast and whose charisma or aura has conquered an important legion of fans. The movement that generated is well known Barb, Nancy Wheeler’s best friend, and for whom signatures were even collected asking for her return after her unjust death.
In the fourth season we could say that there are two characters that have shone with their own light. On the one hand Max, something quite predictable, for being the protagonist and for all the intense process of mourning and depression that he has gone through during the season; on the other, someone that we did not expect, Eddie MunsonHellfire Club leader and go-to person big brother of our dear Dustin.
Fantastically played by Joseph Quinn, he immediately charmed audiences with his nonconformity, leadership and good heart. As if that were not enough, like Barb, he had a tragic end, which helped raise his character even more, becoming the hero of the season.
Such has been his success that his career could not stop there and there is already a new project in the making related to him: a book.
Stranger Things: Flight of Icarus
Having dedicated a spin-off to it (as some wanted) would have been too much and considering its return in the fifth season also seems quite complicated. In order not to let this great character die completely, a novel entitled Stranger Things: Flight of Icarus.
Its author is Caitlin Schneiderhan, who is currently working as a screenwriter for season 5 of stranger thingsand will scroll to 1984, that is, two years before the events we saw on TV, to see how Munson meets a record producer named Paige, who gives the Hellfire Club leader the chance to achieve his musical dreams with her band. But of course, for this he needs money, which will entangle him in the latest shady plan of his father.
«Meet the characters of the eddie’s past that, for better or worse, they played a role in shaping who he is was one of the most rewarding parts of exploring this story, and I can’t wait for the fans to get to know them too!” says Schneiderhan.
The novel will go on sale on October 31 through Penguin Random House. You can find it now on Amazon available for pre-sale, although, yes, for the moment only in English.
