Terminally ill teens at a hospice meet at midnight to share horror stories, exploring death, grief, and what it means to be alive.
About
Details
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.
