    Summary

    Joe al-Kaysani, professor of art history, has a very clear idea of what he's looking for in a partner: a fellow academic with his shit together who can provide deep intellectual conversations on demand.

    Nicolò di Genova, surly food services chef who doesn't even warn people about pork or have a bed frame, does not hit the brief.

    Still, there's something magnetic about him, and Joe figures there's no harm in having a little fun while he waits for Prince Charming to arrive.

    Summary

    Rimmer pressed his lips together in a bitter smile. “Might I remind you that this whole dire situation is your fault?”

    “What, the coronavirus?” said Lister.

    “No, you idiot, us getting evicted,” said Rimmer. “If it wasn’t for you we’d have two whole bedrooms right now. I could have got a hotplate and a chemical toilet and sealed myself in.”

    “Hey, hang on,” said Lister. “I got us evicted? You’re the one who told Mr Hollister about Frankenstein.”

    “I wouldn’t have had to tell our landlord that you were in breach of our lease if you hadn’t been in breach of our lease,” Rimmer snapped. “Really, you –”

    Reluctant flatmates Lister and Rimmer are forced to move into a one bedroom flat after getting evicted. Unfortunately, it's early 2020 and what was supposed to be a temporary situation drags on. And on...

    In which Lister won't stop bringing home new flatmates, Holly communicates exclusively via Zoom call, Kryten bakes bread, the Cat bedazzles a lot of face masks, Rimmer hoards toilet paper, and everyone learns some things about themselves.

    Summary

    November 1983. Between unpaid bills, the supposedly straight jock he’s seeing, and letters from his convict dad, seventeen year old Eddie Munson’s got enough to worry about. But when Will Byers goes missing, it sparks a chain of events that will show there are more depths to Hawkins — and to certain people in it, like infamous Steve ‘The Hair’ Harrington — than he realizes.

    / or, the excessively long slow-burn in which Eddie is involved in the Upside Down from the very beginning.

     

    volumes one (season one), two (season two), & three (season three) now complete!
