What Makes This Book Special?
Set in Hawkins during 1959, The First Shadow introduces us to younger versions of beloved characters—a teenage Jim Hopper struggling with a broken-down car and life’s disappointments, Bob Newby fighting to get his radio show taken seriously, and Joyce Maldonado desperately dreaming of escape from her small hometown.
The narrative takes a sinister turn when charismatic newcomer Henry Creel arrives in town.
