The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike

A group of teens who are afflicted with various terminal illnesses live at Rotterdam Home. They go to Rotterdam to live out the rest of their lives. 

The group gets together at midnight to tell stories and boy do they tell some good stories! The stories are a mix of love. horror and  heartbreak. 

Some are more profound then others and hit you emotionally. My favorite stories are the one told by Ilonka - it's about past lives and they are impactful. 

Pike has a knack for writing stories within stories. This isn't something that many authors can pull off and he does it without taking the reader out of his story.  The Midnight Club is about life, death and living in the moment. Be prepared to think about your own mortality and anticipate feeling sadness for characters that life has treated unfairly.
