New Stranger Things Book Will Be A Season 4 Prequel Following Eddie Munson
Eddie Munson from Stranger Things season 4 is now getting an origin story in the new prequel book Stranger Things: Flight of Icarus. Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive cover reveal of the upcoming novel, written by Caitlin Schneiderhan, who’s currently serving in the show’s season 5 writers’ room. “The Eddie Munson we meet at the beginning of Stranger Things 4 is the protective shepherd to the nerdy lost sheep of Hawkins High. But taking on that mantle wasn’t such a cut-and-dry decision,” Schneiderhan said in a statement. “I’m so excited for fans to go with him on his journey towards becoming a hero, to experience the messy and uncomfortable decisions that led him to become the brave misfit we all know and love.” Flight of Icarus will publish from Penguin Random House on October 31.
