My Thoughts

I reread The Midnight Cub by Christopher Pike, a young adult book I first read twenty-eight years ago, to coincide with the Netflix version that premieres today. Although The Midnight Club isn't my favorite Pike novel, I'm delighted a television series has been made of it. Ever since last year's Fear Street film trilogy, Hollywood appears to have developed a fascination with teen horror novels from the 1980s and 1990s. I hope future "Point Horror" adaptations will follow suit.

Well. how did the book weather time? I often am shocked how some books just don't manage to stay relevant over the years.
