Sinossi
Al Rotterham Home, nessuno fa mai le valigie per andarsene. I ragazzi che ci arrivano, tutti adolescenti con malattie incurabili, non riescono nemmeno a chiamarla casa: è soltanto il luogo dove passano le ultime settimane della loro vita. Nella monotonia dell'attesa, però, nasce un rito speciale. Ogni notte, nello studio del dottor White, si riunisce puntuale il Midnight Club: cinque ragazzi che, davanti alle fiamme accese del camino, si raccontano storie dell'orrore, di vita vissuta e immaginata, che fanno venire i brividi e le lacrime agli occhi. Finché una sera decidono di fare un patto inquietante: il primo a morire tra loro si impegnerà a dare ai suoi amici un segnale, per dimostrare che l'anima può continuare a esistere oltre la vita. Al Midnight Club non resta quindi che aspettare che la morte venga a bussare alla sua porta...

Wow, what complete and utter BS was this book. I know it is fiction, I know supernatural/fantasy, but dear Lord, what a load of BS it was. I have a splitting headache, and I am actually sorry I spend money (even if it was only a small amount) on it. The blurb? It sounds amazing, and I was really int Leggi tutto
SPOOKTOBER IS ALSO FOR DEAD TEENS!
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
I love a bit of 90's YA nostalgia, though I never really read much of Christopher Pike as a teen. I think it was mainly due to him not being a part of the Point Horror brand here in the U.K. - so as you can imagine I was quite intrigued to learn of Mike Flanagan adapting one of his books for Netflix Leggi tutto
