Every ending has a beginning. The battle for Hawkins concludes.
A dimension of decay and darkness. A mirror of our world, twisted and corrupted. Where nightmares are real and hope goes to die.
No sun ever rises. No warmth ever comes.
Living tendrils that connect all things.
Spores that corrupt everything they touch.
