I just got done watching this show, and would love to get some of the same spirit in lit form. I know this show isn't based on any book, but do you guys know of some, that share certain aspects with the show, and just feel equal? I loved the game earthbound btw. And it somehow reminds me of stranger things, so that might help.

I've never watched this show but Stephen King and Kurt Vonnegut were authors that influenced earthbound and from what I can tell Stranger Things reeks of Stephen King.

The series borrows or imitates or pays homage to a number of sources of film and book
The experiment mixes elements of The Fury, Altered States, Fire Starter.
The kids are a mix of E.T., the Goonies, Stand By Me.
The mystery mixes It, Poltegeist, E.T., the short story The Mist.
The dreary small town/suburban angst is a mix of Stephen King and Steven Spielberg.
The score draws upon John Carpenters work and Tangerine Dreams soundtracks.

expect a whole genre/subgenre of similar stuff to pop up
few seconds of a radiant filmstrip has a eighties feel

Do you disagree with this?

Steven kings IT.
It's basically the same shit, group of kids go explore shit they shouldn't, ignorant of the dangers, fight a monster.
Go read it. It'll be super popular again in 6months

The monster reminds me the alien from de "The Thing".
Your post seems pretty accurate to me

The monster in the thing is a shape shifter and changes appearance each time
But yes there is one scene where its 'face' opens up like a petal
