A twisty nostalgic emotionally thrilling novel about a group of estranged college friends who
experiment with a secret substance that allows them to re-live their memories—and the fallout
when they uncover startling truths about a dark event from their past “A strange riveting
brilliant fable. Like a fever-dream of Donna Tartt’s The Secret History .” —LEV GROSSMAN
“How could you leave the past undisturbed when it was hiding parts of you from yourself?”
It’s been twenty-five years since The Midnight Club last convened. A tight-knit group of
college friends bonded by late nights at the campus literary magazine they’re also bonded by
something darker: the death of their brilliant friend Jennet junior year. But now decades
later a mysterious invitation has pulled them back to the pine-shrouded Vermont town where it
all began. As the estranged friends gather for a weeklong campus reunion they soon learn that
their host has an ulterior motive: she wants them to uncover the truth about the night Jennet
died and she’s provided them with an extraordinary method—a secret substance that helps them
not only remember but relive the past. But each one of the friends has something to hide. And
the more they question each other the deeper they dive into their own memories the more they
understand that nothing they thought they knew about their college years and that fateful
night is true. The Midnight Club explores that innate desire to revisit our first loves
our biggest mistakes and the gulf between who we are and who we hoped we’d be.
