Publisher's summary

Soon to be 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...

Lovely

"The big mystery will not be solved until the day we die. We have our stories, our dreams, our beliefs, but until then everything is just speculation."


This group of hospice teens are shouldering the heaviest of burdens, but they do so with shared camaraderie and spooky stories to enliven their time left. Love this one, it was deep, sad, and sweet.

Its Ok

This book is not like the show. Some how reminiscent but very different. Mainly the characters names are the same and they live in a hospice and tell eachother stories. I dont mind when the book is different than the show. I can view them as seperate and enjoy them both for what they are. But in this case the show was better than the book. The show fleshed out the characters better gives them more background and depth. This book makes it hard to differentiate between the different characters while they are telling the stories in the midnight club. Would have been better if the author gave them differnet writing styles...or maybe if the narrirator gave them different inflections on voice or something. Book is sad but hopefull. Its not bad, just feels so so. like...its almost there. Feels like a rough draft.

Good Book ... not spooky

This book is good. It was interesting and I finished it in one sitting. But... this is not a fun, spooky mystery. I'm glad I listened, just be warned that it's sad and beautiful.

Finally some Christopher Pike

I have loved all his books since I was young. Please keep making them into audiobooks so my husband can listen! I can't even begin to write how wonderful his books are. Just give them a try!

A different take on love, loss and acceptance

I was not expecting this book to be what it was, and I am totally fine with that! This book took me by surprise with the turns it takes and the funny, sweet, and heartwrenching places it goes. It makes you reflect on your own life and if you are living it with love in your heart. A fantastic read!

Delightfully Sad

This is a wonderous little story. It packs a lot of stuff in its short time with you. I have come to it in the wake of the Netflix show. I must say I fininshed it before watching the show and then listened to it again after. I enjoyed the show a lot. I love Mike Flanagans Work. How ever the show should have followed the book closer to the chest and could have been scary sad little tragedy. Not a series, with several additions tho for the show arent terrible. I really enjoyed the Narration and it was done so lovely. please Enjoy this as man other have
