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.

Reviews for The Midnight Club

""The Midnight Club is a strange, riveting, brilliant fable about smart people seduced by the darkest, most forbidden fantasy. Like a fever-dream of Donna Tartt's The Secret History."" --Lev Grossman, New York Times bestselling author of The Magicians ""I devoured The Midnight Club. It's a smart, surprising, and gripping mystery about the reality that we can't change who we were back in college, but we'd all be a lot better off if we could. And, for the characters in this fine novel, one of them might even still be alive."" --Chris Bohjalian, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Flight Attendant ""When old college friends gather, the past comes, too. Savvy, suspenseful, and surprisingly tender, Margot Harrison's The Midnight Club takes the classic murder-reunion trope and transforms it into a reflection on friendship and surviving our youth. With each twist, this marvelously inventive novel will keep you guessing whodunnit--but also who couldn't stop it, and why."" --Maria Hummel, author of Still Lives ""The Secret History meets Black Mirror in Margot Harrison's richly imagined, time-traveling debut. A nostalgia-soaked campus novel about second and even third chances, The Midnight Club asks the question: what price is too high to undo your greatest mistake? The perfect read for spooky season!"" --Alison B. Hart, author of The Work Wife ""[A] taut and introspective time-travel thriller.... This deserves to be savored."" --Publishers Weekly ""Eerie and suspenseful, but fundamentally a poignant look at grief, regret, and friendship."" --Bustle
