Books like The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike
When you think Christopher Pike, you probably think ax murderers, cursed chain letters, and the occasional evil lizard person — and with good reason! But in this sensitive novel, set at a hospice for terminally ill teens, Pike mashes up standard scary stories with an exploration of what fear really means when illness is more of a threat than haunted houses or sexy vampires. In this heart-wrenching tale, young readers are invited to join the Midnight Club of teenagers facing their mortality.
