They called themselves the Midnight Club, and their stories could be true or false, inspiring or depressing, or somewhere in-between. One night, in the middle of a particularly scary story, the teenagers make a secret pact with each other, which says, "The first one who dies will do whatever he or she can do to contact us from beyond the grave, to give us proof that there is life after death." Then one of them does die..."--
