Resumen del Editor

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...

AMAZING

IT WAS AMAZING. I really am excited to watch the Netflix series now and I HIGHLY recommend!

Lovely

Such a good book! I have been a fan of Pike since the 90s. So happy this book is finally available on audible. Read beautifully

very plot twist

it's way different from the tv show series on Netflix I enjoyed it alot

Long live The Midnight Club!

The Midnight Club is one of the most captivating books I've ever read. It's an emotional tearjerker with an unexpected ending that left me reflecting long after I turned the last page. Christopher Pike truly is a genius in crafting such profound and moving stories.

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.

A great quick read

I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait to rewatch the show! Loved the performance.

Great stories

The members of the club came up with very interesting stories! It gave space for a lot of reflection and insight. I really liked the past lives things. It felt very spiritual and the whole book really made me feel part of the midnight club itself.

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.

here after netflix show

while it is completely different from the show, I love both stories! I'm going to binge Christopher's other books now!
