Today there’s a couple of new bits.<\/p>\n

\u2014 First up is an exclusive new extract from the novel on Digital Spy<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, in which Jim Hopper is called to a grisly crime scene by his new partner, Detective Rosario Delgado!<\/p>\n

\u2014 Last week I had the pleasure of talking to Callum Crumlish at the Express Online<\/em>, who is not only a Stranger Things<\/strong><\/em> fan, but surprised me when he said he was a huge Dishonored<\/em> <\/strong>fan! That interview forms part of the Netflixed<\/em> podcast, and you can listen to my episode here<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>(the Stranger Things<\/em><\/strong> section starts around 12 minutes 20 seconds).<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Barnes and Noble Sci-Fi and Fantasy Blog<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>highlights Darkness<\/strong> <\/em>as one of the best books of June – noting that it came out May 28th but they still want to mention it! – saying:<\/p>\n

“The universe of Netflix\u2019s hit series continues expands with a tense, engrossing novel focusing on the backstory of Police Chief Jim Hopper… Author Adam Christopher satisfies, whether he\u2019s writing a tie-in novel or something original (his Ray Electromatic<\/a><\/strong><\/span> mystery series is pure fun).”<\/p>\n

Have a good weekend everyone!<\/p>\n

Chief Jim Hopper reveals long-awaited secrets to Eleven about his old life as a police detective in New York City, confronting his past before the events of the hit show\u00a0Stranger Things.\u00a0<\/b><\/em>
\n<\/b>
\nChristmas, Hawkins, 1984.<\/b>\u00a0All Chief Jim Hopper wants is to enjoy a quiet first Christmas with Eleven, but his adopted daughter has other plans. Over Hopper\u2019s protests, she pulls a cardboard box marked \u201cNew York\u201d out of the basement\u2014and the tough questions begin. Why did Hopper leave Hawkins all those years ago? What does \u201cVietnam\u201d mean? And why has he never talked about New York?<\/em><\/p>\n

Although he\u2019d rather face a horde of demogorgons than talk about his own past, Hopper knows that he can\u2019t deny the truth any longer. And so begins the story of the incident in New York\u2014the last big case before everything changed\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Summer, New York City, 1977<\/b>. Hopper is starting over after returning home from Vietnam. A young daughter, a caring wife, and a new beat as an NYPD detective make it easy to slip back into life as a civilian. But after shadowy federal agents suddenly show and seize the files about a series of brutal, unsolved murders, Hopper takes matters into his own hands, risking everything to discover the truth.<\/em><\/p>\n

Soon Hopper is undercover among New York\u2019s notorious street gangs. But just as he’s about to crack the case, a blackout rolls across the boroughs, plunging Hopper into a darkness deeper than any he\u2019s faced before.<\/em><\/p>\n
