Just finished Darkness At The Edge of Town, by Adam Christopher. It's a Stranger Things novel centered around Detective Jim Hopper in NYC in 1977, so a few years before he returns to Hawkins, Indiana and the events of Stranger Things Seasons 1 and 2. The story itself wasn't bad and was, at times, compelling, but, being part of the Stranger Things universe (officially or not, depending on your take of off-shoot stories), I was really let down that the villain was JUST a man, with nothing more to him. I'm used to telekinesis and demogorgons and parallel universes from the franchise, so I was underwhelmed, to say the least.
