Author: Gina McIntyre

Description: The official behind-the-scenes companion guid to the first two seasons of “Stranger Things” and beyond, featuring exclusive color photos and stunning concept art.
 
When the first season of “Stranger Things” debuted on Netflix in the summer of 2016, the show struck a nerve with millions of viewers worldwide and received broad critical acclaim. The series has gone on to win six Emmy Awards, but its success was driven more than anything by word of mouth, resonating across generations. Viewers feel personal connections to the characters. Now fans can immerse themselves in the world – or worlds – of Hawkins, Indiana, like never before.
 
Review: It’s “Stranger Things” season, so the perfect time to sit down with this behind-the-scenes look of the show. A show that has had me in its grip for almost a decade.
 
In “Stranger Things: Worlds Turned Upside Down” we take a deep dive into the first two seasons. The book offers a wealth of background information. It has detailed content, such as interviews, details about the costumes and sets, and insights into the inspiration for the series. It’s a must-have for any fan of the series.
 
Like the show, the books evokes a strong 1980s atmosphere, reinforced by a “worn” cover and the style of the interior. Is includes early concepts and talks in depth about the casting, characters and actors. It has some extras in the back, like a map of Hawkins and a Morse code table. Similar to those in the series.
 
This book is a perfect gift to any “Stranger Things” fan, as this book was also a gift to me from my good friend Merle. Devoured this book, really loved it. I’m hoping Gina McIntyre will also create books for the other 3 seasons, because I absolutely need them.
