According to Novel, We Have Plot Speculation
From the author of The Wicked Heart and The Immortal comes a beautiful and haunting book about five teens with terminal illnesses whose midnight stories come true.
Rotherham Home was a hospice for young people. Teenagers with serious illnesses who were nearing the end of their lives went there to die—no one who ever checked in left. It was a sad and painful place but also a funny and exciting place.
A group of young boys and girls at the hospice got together every night at 12 to tell stories. They called themselves the Midnight Club; their stories could be true or false, inspiring or sad, or something in between.
