About this listen

 SOME TOWNS ARE MORE HAUNTED THAN OTHERS...

An 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

"A celebration of the secret lives of children, both their wonders and their horrors . . . Immensely enjoyable, piercingly clever, and satisfyingly soulful." -Jason Heller, NPR

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. 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 light-hearted project may ultimately uncover more than any of its members had imagined. With the alternating warmth and sadness of the best coming-of-age stories, The Saturday Night Ghost Club is a note-perfect novel that poignantly examines the haunting mutability of memory and storytelling, as well as the experiences that form the people we become, and establishes Craig Davidson as a remarkable literary talent.

This was not at all what I expected. It’s far better than I could have imagined it would be. I don’t want to give too much away but this is my best read of the year so far.

Anyone who likes ghost stories, coming of age, maybe a bit of thriller, should read this pretty quickly! Aside from that I do think it would actually appeal to most people who enjoy a good read!

Wow. Just wow.

I liked the premise of it but I found it very predictable, but as it’s such a short story it was alright. Not the best but not the worst

It’s alright
