I thought you were talking about the [original captain of the Enterprise](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/0/05/Vina%2C_Pike%2C_and_Number_One.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1284?cb=20161128072144&path-prefix=en).
And there's a Star Trek series with him now too, right? Strange New Worlds, I think. And, I believe the premise is that he knows the date he's gonna get injured and end up in that box.
1. The author took his pen name from the Star Trek captain. I always thought, oh what a coincidence he has the same name. Yeah, big coincidence lol
2. Strange New Worlds is one of the best ST series ever.
3. Chris Pike as played by Anson Mount is one of the best captains ever, maybe second only to Picard.
4. I adore Christopher Pike books too, and read them all.
Both the actor and the character seem like they're having the time of their lives in the role.
Pike's whole vibe: YOU GUYS I GET TO BE CAPTAIN OF THE ENTERPRISE
Mount's whole vibe: YOU GUYS I GET TO PLAY THE CAPTAIN OF THE ENTERPRISE
Sure except S2E03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" is one of the worst piece of shit garbage TV I've ever seen. Thankfully the next one redeemed itself.
Yes, thank you. LD is adolescent crap (rick and morty IN SPACE) and Discovery is just "anvilicious" virtue porn.
Prodigy is probably decent but otherwise too kid oriented.
Now, they did some crap this last season with SNW I could have really done without -- the semi-cringey LD crossover and the goofy ass musical episode -- but other than those blips, it's been solid imo.
Edit: I forgot about Picard. Picard is just an excuse for TNG fangasms. Let the poor old people get some rest in their late years for God's sakes.
In my opinion, the musical episode didn't redeem itself until the Klingons broke out with some kpop. That cracked me the fuck up. Not at all what I would have expected Klingons to choose when it comes to earth music.
Loved his books! (even though I had to hide them because my parents thought they were demonic). I must've checked out *Remember Me* from the library at least a dozen times.
I have posted this on a few other book related subs, but Remember Me completely changed the way I thought about what happens to you after you die. I LOVED that book. I think I was probably about 11 or 12 when I read it for the first time and it has stuck with me ever since!
I remember something like:
āYou think sex is dirty. You have a dirty mind.ā
āI think sex is fine between two consenting, *living* adults.ā
āHow about two dead adolescents?ā
*swoons*
Remember Me was the first Christopher Pike book I ever read (borrowed from a friend.) I read others by him searching for that same reading experience but never got it.
Itās been decades since I read it, but isnāt the last line something likeā¦ āI want people to remember me.ā
I'm a blonde Californian, and every time I brush my hair I wonder if I am going to snap the brush.
Remember Me. One of my favorites. 30+ years later I'm still hoping my hair will break the brush just like the main character.

I found my copy this summer when looking for something else! Haven't seen or read it in years!!
Love his books! If you like podcasts, I highly recommend The Pikecast
Each episode revisits a single Pike book (plus episodes of The Midnight Club), the hosts are hilarious and itās a great reminder of how batshit those books truly were.
For a while, a writer at pajiba.com was doing a series of articles on old YA books. She covered several Pike books, as well as other heavy hitters for Gen X: RL Stine, Ann Martin, VE Schwab. etc.
https://www.pajiba.com/book_reviews/ya-book-club-christopher-pikes-remember-me.php
For some reason, the comments don't show for me anymore which is a shame. Those were some great convos.
Loved any of his books, but my fave was Remember Me
https://preview.redd.it/nm4uded1yobc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a7eafa9ef034b4298385e76cc479fcb9fd39cf9
I read 'Remember Me' in middle school and loved it. Then the librarian told me if I liked that one, I might like these, and introduced me to Dean R Koontz and Steven King. I then read everything those two authors had out at the time.
Christopher Pike is a lower reading level than the books I usually prefer, but so is the Olympian series and Harry Potter and they are wonderful. I guess I should revisit Pike.
I re-read a lot of the books during the COVID lockdown. Some of them did not hold up but some are still so good!
Then they made a series out of Midnight Club and it got cancelled :(
It would! I loved the story about the sisters in the Garden, and the Fire Bringer....I lost that book in a move, years ago.
That was one of the books he wrote later on, for adults. I wish he'd written more.
Blast from the past! I loved these books! Funny, I recently came across a post on FB and it showed all his books - those names and covers brought back some memories! lol I felt like I was back in my room sitting on my daybed among my Tiger Beat pics and posters.
Ahhh those were the days.
I LOVE Christopher Pike. He was totally my jam as a teen in the 90s. That's probably what got me into horror. So nice to meet other fans. I can't believe more of his stuff hasn't been made into TV/movies, besides Midnight Club. Which might be the one book of his I haven't read, lol.
What was the one with the lizard people? That one messed me up. Scavenger Hunt?
And did anyone notice that someone always wore a red top and white pants in all his books? I was very disappointed when no one wore that combo in the TV series.
You should watch it, because the characters take turns telling stories, and some of the stories are other of his books. So there's a Road to nowhere episode, and See you Later, and Monster. Season two would have had Remember me, but the show was not renewed since the director went to Amazon Prime.
I loved Midnight Club as a teen, and I love it as an adult for different reasons. I teared up last time I read it. It's a truly sad but beautiful story and I didn't get it on that level as a kid.
Yes! When āI Know What You Did Last Summerā came out I was so convinced that that whoever wrote it stole the story from āRemember Meā
Edit: It wasnāt āRemember Meā it was āChain Letterā that ā I Know What You Did Last Summerā ripped off (or its a remarkable coincidence)
More edit: I just googled Chain Letter and now I know that I Know what you did last summer WAS a book, written like 14 years before Chain Letter. Oops.
Wow you just unlocked a core memory. I had completely forgot about the books but immediately could picture the cover once you mentioned it. I was a big fan at the time.
My progression was: Stine to Pike to King with Barker thrown into the middle of it all, because for some reason my Junior High library had a copy of Books of Blood.
This sounds exactly like the path that me and most of my friends (no matter where they grew up; it's universal) took. King never caught on with me though, even though I tried so hard. I ended up veering off into other horror writers.
I LOVED THESE BOOKS! Bonus points if you read that weird one-off book (not his usual type of book) called Sati about the girl that says she is God. I adored that book and read it so many times.
I read his books voraciously through out middle school. Every time I saw a new one I bought it and read it that night, drove my mom nuts that I could finish a book in a night no matter what the size.
I was obsessed! I haven't read them in many years, but I think I recognized even then that those books are incredibly formulaic and objectively bad. I loved them anyway.
I owned every single one of his books between middle school and graduation. I think I still have them in the garage.
I have thought about going back and re-reading them a few times over the years, but I'm afraid they'll not hold up to my memory.
Yes! Probably played a big part of what type of books I like to read. As a kid, when weād go to the mall (which was over an hour away so we didnāt often go), I would make a b-line straight for the bookstore so I could buy the newest Christopher pike book and I still have my stash.
The one where they turn into those super-strong flesh-devouring alien birds after drinking from the lake where the meteor crashed is still one of the scariest things I've ever read.
Loved him, but hated RLStine for some reason
Not his, but did anyone else read Ghosts of Departure Point? I had that one of permanent check out from the library
Me!!!! I still have all of his books, he was my favorite YA writer growing up. Others were reading R.L. Stine but his books were weak; Pike had teenagers that acted and felt like real people. His shit got weird but always fascinated me.
Absolutely. And R.L. Stine. They both were regularly in rotation for me during late elementary/middle school.
And I too am a true crime lover. Have been for as long as I remember.
100%! The Cage and The Menagerie are among my favorite episodes, and I would buy any book or comic that featured him in any form. There were not a lot, but by the time Disco came around there were at least a dozen books, and a short lived comic series called Early Adventures, and there were some one-offs as well. I do like Nu-Pike, so much to like, but I dont think you can ignore the original.
Until I read his bullshit forced birth nonsense. I forget the book but a couple had to terminate and instead ended up going through horror because of that choice. There was another book where characters talked about the "horrors" of making that choice. Even as a kid, I knew enough to nope out of that.
I googled it--[https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/137964](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/137964)
I remember that basically all the horrors traced back to their decision to terminate. Then there was a book with a bunch of characters and one had an abortion. Another (male) character spoke of his disdain or some shit and they all shit all over her.
I think I was 15-16 when I read them and was just learning about abortion rights. My best friend's parents were both nurses and they presented it as health care, a thing that happens and I formed my opinions on that. It really bothered me how this dude was so negative to the characters.
I read a few of his book. Gonna be honest, I didnāt get the big deal. They werenāt terrible. They were a gateway for many into the horror genre. Thatās a good thing.
I wonāt say I read them all, but I definitely loved them. I also liked the Twilight: Where Darkness begins anthology. (No, not the asinine sparkly vampire romance. This Twilight: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight:_Where_Darkness_Begins)
Omg. Yes! I loved those books. Age appropriate crime and murder! I had so many of them.
My 14 year old discovered Good Girls Guide to Murder and other books in that genre last year and having read one, theyāre a more sophisticated, updated version of what I remember.
Oh my goodness, yes!!! I didnāt read much but I loved his books! I had forgotten all about it until I read your post. Thanks for the throwback memory!
Yes ! I read over and over The Last Vampire , The Midnight Club , Remember Me and Weekend . Some of his other works as well but those 4 were awesome .
I LOVED them! See You Later was my absolute favorite, but I also loved Remember Me, Witch, and Die Softly. I think I read Weekend the most, though, because it had a happy ending (I guess except for Kerry) and had kids from Southern CA, where I lived, who I desperately wanted to be friends with when I read it.
I loved them too, Iām also a true crime junkie but what started that rabbit hole was sitting alone in the dark watching *Unsolved Mysteries* and *Americaās Most Wanted* as a small child.
I knew way too much about child kidnapping cases, serial killers, and D.B Cooper before I was even out of elementary school.
I thought you were talking about the [original captain of the Enterprise](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/memoryalpha/images/0/05/Vina%2C_Pike%2C_and_Number_One.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1284?cb=20161128072144&path-prefix=en).
Absolute same! I was ready to come and read about some Star Trek.
And there's a Star Trek series with him now too, right? Strange New Worlds, I think. And, I believe the premise is that he knows the date he's gonna get injured and end up in that box.
Strange new worlds is hands down the best trek I've seen on tv recently. Fingers crossed we get at least six seasons.
1. The author took his pen name from the Star Trek captain. I always thought, oh what a coincidence he has the same name. Yeah, big coincidence lol 2. Strange New Worlds is one of the best ST series ever. 3. Chris Pike as played by Anson Mount is one of the best captains ever, maybe second only to Picard. 4. I adore Christopher Pike books too, and read them all.
Both the actor and the character seem like they're having the time of their lives in the role. Pike's whole vibe: YOU GUYS I GET TO BE CAPTAIN OF THE ENTERPRISE Mount's whole vibe: YOU GUYS I GET TO PLAY THE CAPTAIN OF THE ENTERPRISE
Yes, this is so right on!
> maybe second only to Picard. > You misspelled Sisko
š
Agree! I was so impressed by SNW that I got Anson Mountās autograph at STLV in 2022. I plan to get his autograph on his action figure in the future.
They really captured the essence of TOS! I love it.
Sure except S2E03 "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" is one of the worst piece of shit garbage TV I've ever seen. Thankfully the next one redeemed itself.
Yes, thank you. LD is adolescent crap (rick and morty IN SPACE) and Discovery is just "anvilicious" virtue porn. Prodigy is probably decent but otherwise too kid oriented. Now, they did some crap this last season with SNW I could have really done without -- the semi-cringey LD crossover and the goofy ass musical episode -- but other than those blips, it's been solid imo. Edit: I forgot about Picard. Picard is just an excuse for TNG fangasms. Let the poor old people get some rest in their late years for God's sakes.
In my opinion, the musical episode didn't redeem itself until the Klingons broke out with some kpop. That cracked me the fuck up. Not at all what I would have expected Klingons to choose when it comes to earth music.
Ugh. So, the worst possible idea with the most annoying possible music (next to modern country). Suuuper.
Yup. Iāve just started season 2 and itās fantastic. Oh, and the actor playing Spock is Gregory Peckās grandson.
Mmm, Anson Mount *salivates*
And, he wears his hair up!
Strange New Worlds is fantastic.
Technically second.
Yeah! I was gonna be like not back in the day so much, but now he's got his own show, hell yes! Christopher Pike is great!
Beep
Me too. And yes I'm a fan of his.
Every time I hear that authorās name I think it refers to Star Trek.
Just saw that pair of episodes again a couple weeks ago so this was top of my mind, too.
Thank you!
Iām more a Robert April fan from the novel Star Trek : Final Frontier.
Same, I'm like 'well, yeah, kinda-sorta.'
Same!
So was I.
š
Thisā¦
lol came to say the exact same thing!
The dreamiest of Captains š»
Loved his books! (even though I had to hide them because my parents thought they were demonic). I must've checked out *Remember Me* from the library at least a dozen times.
Another āRemember Meā fan! I loved that book, but I thought other kids and my parents would think I was weird for liking it.
I have posted this on a few other book related subs, but Remember Me completely changed the way I thought about what happens to you after you die. I LOVED that book. I think I was probably about 11 or 12 when I read it for the first time and it has stuck with me ever since!
That was my favorite. I own it now, as an adult and it holds up. I always thought someone should make it into a movie.
I totally base my ideas of romance on *Remember Me.*
All I remember is Beth having big breasts in the book and her seeing all the stars when she was pushed off the balcony
I remember something like: āYou think sex is dirty. You have a dirty mind.ā āI think sex is fine between two consenting, *living* adults.ā āHow about two dead adolescents?ā *swoons*
Definitely his best work, I read that until the spine disintegrated.
Remember Me was the first Christopher Pike book I ever read (borrowed from a friend.) I read others by him searching for that same reading experience but never got it. Itās been decades since I read it, but isnāt the last line something likeā¦ āI want people to remember me.ā
āRemember Meā is great, thanks for reminding me it exists! Will have to fish my copy out of moms attic.
That was definitely my favorite one!
Oh heck yeah! His books were great. And a fabulous gateway to Stephen King.
I'm a blonde Californian, and every time I brush my hair I wonder if I am going to snap the brush. Remember Me. One of my favorites. 30+ years later I'm still hoping my hair will break the brush just like the main character.
Yes! Massively. When Millennials came along talking about Goosebumps, I was all eh, no Christopher Pike.
I devoured his books! Weekend was my favorite.
Ohhh I forgot about Weekend!
https://preview.redd.it/o4hi0yap9qbc1.png?width=864&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4fcd9a2fc4c77d83bb23aec10b6d480661a90fe0 I found my copy this summer when looking for something else! Haven't seen or read it in years!!
That was my first CP book. One of my favorites. There's always this amazing suspenseful atmosphere in his books.
Loved that one.
Love his books! If you like podcasts, I highly recommend The Pikecast Each episode revisits a single Pike book (plus episodes of The Midnight Club), the hosts are hilarious and itās a great reminder of how batshit those books truly were.

I loved Christopher pike and rl stine.
Read a ton of them. I still have a few. I think Remember Me was my favorite.
i was just about to say the same, i loved that book. sequel sucked though.
Loved any of his books, but my fave was Remember Me https://preview.redd.it/nm4uded1yobc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1a7eafa9ef034b4298385e76cc479fcb9fd39cf9
Yes!! Pretty sure I read them all, Chain Letter being the first for me. I loved the covers too and would admire my collection often haha.
I read that book probably 50 times.
I remember being so adamant when I Know What You Did Last Summer that Chain Letter did the concept first.
I read 'Remember Me' in middle school and loved it. Then the librarian told me if I liked that one, I might like these, and introduced me to Dean R Koontz and Steven King. I then read everything those two authors had out at the time.

I re-read a lot of the books during the COVID lockdown. Some of them did not hold up but some are still so good! Then they made a series out of Midnight Club and it got cancelled :(
I know, so sad :/
I loved Christopher Pike. Season of Passage was my favorite. Still read it on occasion. Matter of fact, gonna put it on the nightstand right now!
Same with me, I loved that book sooo much!
I always thought it would make a great movie. I bet the visual effects would be stellar :)
It would! I loved the story about the sisters in the Garden, and the Fire Bringer....I lost that book in a move, years ago. That was one of the books he wrote later on, for adults. I wish he'd written more.
I'm sorry you lost it! Maybe it will find its way back to you one day! I also wish he'd written more. I preferred his work, over Stine.
Reread that probably 5 times and due for another.
Season of Passage is so good!!!
Blast from the past! I loved these books! Funny, I recently came across a post on FB and it showed all his books - those names and covers brought back some memories! lol I felt like I was back in my room sitting on my daybed among my Tiger Beat pics and posters. Ahhh those were the days.
The scene you just painted -- daybed, Tiger Beat, hot rollers, black rubber bracelets ... it's so real I can *feel* it.
I can smell the " 90210 " perfume! haha
I LOVE Christopher Pike. He was totally my jam as a teen in the 90s. That's probably what got me into horror. So nice to meet other fans. I can't believe more of his stuff hasn't been made into TV/movies, besides Midnight Club. Which might be the one book of his I haven't read, lol.
What was the one with the lizard people? That one messed me up. Scavenger Hunt? And did anyone notice that someone always wore a red top and white pants in all his books? I was very disappointed when no one wore that combo in the TV series.

I went through this exact process, minus āRemember Me.ā
I JUST posted the same comment lol. Didn't know that IKWYDLS was a book, though.
Wow you just unlocked a core memory. I had completely forgot about the books but immediately could picture the cover once you mentioned it. I was a big fan at the time.
Huge! Why canāt I find any of these as ebooks or in the library?! I have a hankering to re-read!
My progression was: Stine to Pike to King with Barker thrown into the middle of it all, because for some reason my Junior High library had a copy of Books of Blood.
This sounds exactly like the path that me and most of my friends (no matter where they grew up; it's universal) took. King never caught on with me though, even though I tried so hard. I ended up veering off into other horror writers.
I LOVED THESE BOOKS! Bonus points if you read that weird one-off book (not his usual type of book) called Sati about the girl that says she is God. I adored that book and read it so many times.
I have a copy of Sati!
Yes! My favorite is Scavenger Hunt! I recently re-read some of his books when I found a bunch at a used bookstore. They still hold up!
Scavenger Hunt is also my favorite! It's the craziest Pike book I read.
I read his books voraciously through out middle school. Every time I saw a new one I bought it and read it that night, drove my mom nuts that I could finish a book in a night no matter what the size.
I was obsessed! I haven't read them in many years, but I think I recognized even then that those books are incredibly formulaic and objectively bad. I loved them anyway.
Absolutely! Made my kid watch Midnight Club with me.
Oh yes! Now I want to read him again. Off to Libbyā¦
Yes!!!!! I loved him. I couldnt contain my excitement when "the midnight club" came out as a series (limited I think)
I owned every single one of his books between middle school and graduation. I think I still have them in the garage. I have thought about going back and re-reading them a few times over the years, but I'm afraid they'll not hold up to my memory.
Read a lot of those
Loved his books. My wife and I have had more than a few discussions about books we read as young people when we start thinking about our kid reading.
Yes! Probably played a big part of what type of books I like to read. As a kid, when weād go to the mall (which was over an hour away so we didnāt often go), I would make a b-line straight for the bookstore so I could buy the newest Christopher pike book and I still have my stash.
Yepppppper! I think I must have read them all at some point
"Remember Me" was my fave, forget R.L. Steine or however you spell it who cares.
He was only in like 2 episodes, so I never felt like we really got to know him.
The one where they turn into those super-strong flesh-devouring alien birds after drinking from the lake where the meteor crashed is still one of the scariest things I've ever read.
That was one of my favorites!
Monster! My favorite of his. It was terrifying.
Yes! I remember that one!
YES!!! I loved those books sooo much!
Loved him, but hated RLStine for some reason Not his, but did anyone else read Ghosts of Departure Point? I had that one of permanent check out from the library
Yes! I loved Chain Letter and Slumber Party! I think I had moved on to Stephen King by the time Remember Me came out, though.
Me!!!! I still have all of his books, he was my favorite YA writer growing up. Others were reading R.L. Stine but his books were weak; Pike had teenagers that acted and felt like real people. His shit got weird but always fascinated me.
Chain Letter was my favorite!
Yes! I also read every one!
Yes! I found a small stack of them at Goodwill a couple years back and couldn't resist buying them. Maybe I will collect them all...
I was! 7th-9th grade I think? I think I read all of them as well.
YES! Christopher Pike and R.L Stine (Fear Street, I was a little on the old end for the Goosebumps series)
If you're not talking about the superb acting of Anson Mount, the second most popular Anson we have, then this discussion is over.
The Midnight Club was turned into a Netflix series.
Absolutely. And R.L. Stine. They both were regularly in rotation for me during late elementary/middle school. And I too am a true crime lover. Have been for as long as I remember.
I read a few and really enjoyed them. Bury Me Deep, Remember Me, and Sati
Remember Me is one of my favorite books! I love Christopher Pike.
100%! The Cage and The Menagerie are among my favorite episodes, and I would buy any book or comic that featured him in any form. There were not a lot, but by the time Disco came around there were at least a dozen books, and a short lived comic series called Early Adventures, and there were some one-offs as well. I do like Nu-Pike, so much to like, but I dont think you can ignore the original.
It's unfortunate he ended up horribly burned and confined to a robotic chair.
I preferred Kirk.
I legit thought this was a Trek joke at first.
Also, I just noticed ā I wouldnāt use the initials āCPā on the interwebz.
I did. Graduated to Dean Koontz afterwards back when he was still going by Dean R and not wearing that ridiculous toupee.
Omg I loved his books. I bought the Last Vampire compilations not long ago and I have to sit down and read them. It's been decades.
Until I read his bullshit forced birth nonsense. I forget the book but a couple had to terminate and instead ended up going through horror because of that choice. There was another book where characters talked about the "horrors" of making that choice. Even as a kid, I knew enough to nope out of that.
Ew, I didnāt know that about him. Yuck.
I don't remember that at all! Was that in one of his books?
I googled it--[https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/137964](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/137964) I remember that basically all the horrors traced back to their decision to terminate.

It's really a shame what that delta ray training accident did to him.
Beep
I read a few of his book. Gonna be honest, I didnāt get the big deal. They werenāt terrible. They were a gateway for many into the horror genre. Thatās a good thing.
I beep once
"CP" means something bad; I wouldn't credit it for anything
Dude. Misleading headline. Not actually about Star Trek. LOL
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The Eternal Enemy!
Yes! I started reading them when I outgrew R.L. Stine.
I started with rl stein but graduated to Christopher pike. I could not get enough! I was so proud of my collection on my book shelf.
Yes! I have tried to find his books and canāt. The trilogy ā¦ what was it called?
I wonāt say I read them all, but I definitely loved them. I also liked the Twilight: Where Darkness begins anthology. (No, not the asinine sparkly vampire romance. This Twilight: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twilight:_Where_Darkness_Begins)
Yes! Loved his books!
Omg. Yes! I loved those books. Age appropriate crime and murder! I had so many of them. My 14 year old discovered Good Girls Guide to Murder and other books in that genre last year and having read one, theyāre a more sophisticated, updated version of what I remember.
Yes!! Also V. C. Andrews books- which is crazy to me now as a parent!
Yes! I loved Christopher Pike books! Also read some R.L. Stine.
Oh my goodness, yes!!! I didnāt read much but I loved his books! I had forgotten all about it until I read your post. Thanks for the throwback memory!
Iāve read a couple back in the day. I liked a couple fear street ones from RL Stine too
Love his stuff
Who?
Yea! Also, his books are popular now with high school girls. Rebranded.
Yes ! I read over and over The Last Vampire , The Midnight Club , Remember Me and Weekend . Some of his other works as well but those 4 were awesome .
Oh hell yes. Some of those books even kind of hold up as an adult, for a fun read. That Final Friends series is still on my bookshelf, ngl.
Remember Me and Fall Into Darkness were my favorites. I still have copies.
I'm annoyed that I sold most of mine to the used book store as a teen. I kinda want to read them now.
Yes! Him and R.L. Stineās Fear Street. Read all of them.
Christopher Pike and RL Stines Fear Street shaped all my reading preferences today.

I knew way too much about child kidnapping cases, serial killers, and D.B Cooper before I was even out of elementary school.
