Synopsis

Now an original Netflix series!

From the author of The Wicked Heart and The Immortal comes a beautiful and haunting novel about a group of five terminally ill teenagers whose midnight stories become their reality.

Rotterham Home was a hospice for young people—a place where teenagers with terminal illnesses went to die. Nobody who checked in ever checked out. It was a place of pain and sorrow, but also, remarkably, a place of humor and adventure.

Every night at twelve, a group of young guys and girls at the hospice came together to tell stories. They called themselves the Midnight Club, and their stories could be true or false, inspiring or depressing, or somewhere in-between.

One night, in the middle of a particularly scary story, the teenagers make a secret pact with each other, which says, “The first one who dies will do whatever he or she can do to contact us from beyond the grave, to give us proof that there is life after death.”

Then one of them does die...

Goodreads review by Justin

It's weird that Christopher Pike always gets compared to R.L. Stine. They both dominated the YA horror market during the '90s but are otherwise very different authors. The Midnight Club (1994) is an excellent example of just how different they can be. The entire cast of characters are terminally ill......more

Just a week ago, I got word that renowned horror director Mike Flanagan is set to turn Christopher Pike's oeuvre into an episodic Netflix series with The Midnight Club providing the central narrative through which these stories will be told.

Goodreads review by Lacie

When I was younger, I absolutely adored Christopher Pike's novels. After coming back here recently and re-reading much of his stories, I couldn't help but feel a bit of detachment from them though. They were good, certainly, but not the magnificent tales I remembered when I was a pre-teen. This one......more
