Thoughts on Stranger Things Novels

Is there a reason why the descriptions and characterizations are slightly off and the timelines are askewed? Is it because the author is asked to deliberately emulate old movie novelizations where that actually happened a lot? I imagine something similar will be done with the Hopper novel as well.
