Margot Harrison: The Midnight Club - A book launch celebration!

“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

Join Vermont author Margot Harrison for the launch of her debut adult novel, The Midnight Club which features four friends, a campus reunion and dark new way to relive the past. Margot will be in conversation with fellow Vermont author Lisa Kusel at the Venetian Soda Lounge at 266 Pine Street in downtown, Burlington.
"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.
Twisty, nostalgic, and emotionally thrilling, 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.
