Netflix dropped Stranger Things 2 onto its streaming platform the weekend before Halloween, and I snapped up all nine episodes before Monday rolled around. Yes, it’s that addictive. Since then, I’ve been meaning to write something about it, but needed more time to formulate how to discuss it. This time, I’m going to try something different from other blog posts.
Stranger Things 1 was magic. It was a sheer joy to watch, with well-developed relationships and a gripping story, soaked in atmosphere.

To its credit, season 2 devoted time to plot elements that vexed some viewers from the first season, including justice for Barb.
On October 12th, I got an e-mail announcing the Writer’s Digest Popular Fiction Awards. The e-mail included a call for genre short stories between 1,500 and 4,000 words with an early bird deadline of October 16th. Winners would get their work published, receive prize money, and be paid to attend a conference.
