Vol. 2 (second part) of “Stranger Things” Season 4 began streaming on Netflix on Friday, July 1. Do you know about the book that Lucas (played by Caleb McLaughlin) was reading to his ex-girlfriend Max (played by Sadie Sink) in the last episode “Chapter 9: Infiltration”?

It is important to note that Max is in a coma.

 

Up until now, “Stranger Things” has centered on the small town of Hawkins, but in the new season, Season 4, the characters’ stories are divided into Russia, Hawkins, and California, respectively. Max, who was in Hawkins with Nancy, Robin, Steve, Eddie, Dustin, Erica, Lucas, and others, becomes a “decoy” himself and joins the fight against Vecna, the worst enemy in history.

Max, Lucas, and the others infiltrate the Creel family, where Vecna lives, and succeed in luring Vecna as planned, but their plan is foiled when Jason (played by Myson Dye), a star basketball player at Hawkins High School, suddenly appears. Max is taken over by Vecna on the other side of the world.

Max’s heart stops once Vecna captures him, but Elle (played by Millie Bobby Brown), who is in a remote location, uses her power to revive him. Although he survived, Max’s arms and legs were broken in unnatural directions and his eyes were bleeding. At the end of the episode, he was shown lying unconscious in a hospital bed.

Lucas was reading a book to Max beside him. It was “The Talisman,” a fantasy horror novel published in 1984 by famous American authors Stephen King and Peter Straub.

In “The Talisman,” Jack Sawyer, a 12-year-old boy, travels to New Hampshire in search of the mystical crystal “Talisman” to save his cancer-stricken mother. Throughout his journey, Jack alternates between the real world of America and a parallel world called “The Territories. In the parallel world called the Territory, people and places exist as mirror images of the real world, and it is a dark, warped, and strange world.

 

The Duffer Brothers, creators of “Stranger Things: The Unknown World,” recently announced the establishment of their production company, Upside Down Pictures. At that time, they revealed that they were also working on a series of “Talisman” films, so there is no doubt that they are fans of this work.

 

It cannot be a mere coincidence that Lucas was reading “Talisman” to Max, which, like “Stranger Things,” exists in two different worlds. It is possible that the Duffer Brothers may have used the novel as inspiration for the future development of “Stranger Things.

 

In addition. The Duffer Brothers recently said of the upcoming Season 5, “It’s important that Max is in a coma. This will have a big impact on Season 5.
