![]() ![]() I found the opening chapter awkwardly written, with lots of cool-speak, but that is quickly remedied and shakes out to become a fast-moving whodunit thriller in the vein of I Know What You Did Last Summer. This is a Young Adult novel, written about teens, but aside from a bit of friendly stabbing has no overt sexuality or gratuitous gore that would keep it from the hands of a younger reader. To be successful, the players must make the designated target scream in fear. With help of the others, each member takes a turn devising a horror-movie styled scenario. And competes in what they call Fear Tests. But instead of telling stories around a campfire, this club watches scary movies in posh mansions. A teenage Midnight Society named for Mary Shelly because of the fateful night she spent with her husband Percy Shelley, step sister Claire, Gothic trend-setter Basil Polidori, and Lord Byron crafting stories. ![]()
