Ninth House (2019), written by Leigh Bardugo, is based on the creepy and very real secret societies at Yale (it’s always Yale!). In this dark, twisted fantasy, the fictional Ninth House looks over the other (very real) societies (like George Bush’s society “Skull and Bones”) to make sure they aren’t fully murdering townies and of course something goes wrong. Come for the magical rituals, murder, ghosts, fentanyl, potions, the rich and privileged, the poor and victimized; stay for a young, flawed protagonist who grows on you. No pointy hats if you’re into that sort of thing. But it’s very much the kind of stuff you can imagine Jared Kushner is up to at this moment.
