13 Books to Read If You Love Stranger Things

Twenty years after a virus outbreak, humanity is divided into three groups: Hungries, Junkers, and the Uninfected. Hungries are similar to zombies, in that they retain almost no mental capabilities and feed on human flesh. But if a Hungrie has never tasted flesh, they are sometimes able to maintain language and think. Though uninfected, Junkers are vicious scavengers who have lost their humanity. In a research lab in London, a behavioral psychologist forms an attachment to Melanie, a 10-year-old Hungrie with a genius IQ. Together, they go on a journey to understand the virus, find a cure, and reshape humanity as they know it in The Girl With All the Gifts.
