Unfortunately, no one in my family has read it yet, but I’m hoping to get to it soon. Critic Reviews Davidson makes beautifully clear how the ghoulish tales we feared when we were young cant compare to the blood-bathed teeth we eventually. So I immediately located a copy for me and my kids. I came across this one recently recommended for fans of Stranger Things, which we are. With the alternating warmth and sadness of the best coming-of-age stories, The Saturday Night Ghost Club examines the haunting mutability of memory and storytelling, as well as the experiences that form the people we become. It is far more a memory of childhood, a winsome look back by a narrator who now works in a difficult profession (as a surgeon) and is remembering the most significant summer of his life. The summer Jake turns twelve, he befriends a pair of siblings new to town, and so Calvin decides to initiate them all into the “Saturday Night Ghost Club.” But as the summer goes on, what begins as a seemingly lighthearted project may ultimately uncover more than any of its members had imagined. The Saturday Night Ghost Club is only the slightest wisp of a ghost story. Growing up in 1980s Niagara Falls–a seedy but magical, slightly haunted place–Jake Baker spends most of his time with his uncle Calvin, a kind but eccentric enthusiast of occult artifacts and conspiracy theories. Synopsis: A short, irresistible, and bittersweet coming-of-age story in the vein of “Stranger Things” and “Stand by Me” about a group of misfit kids who spend an unforgettable summer investigating local ghost stories and urban legends.
