Synopsis
"Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow alley, if the conditions are exactly right, you'll find the entrance to Slade House: a surreal place where visitors see what they want to see, including some things that should be impossible. Everynine years, the house's residents--an odd brother and sister--extend a unique invitation to someone who's different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late"--

Review
Manically ingenious . . . Each fresh product of Mitchell's soaring imagination functions as an echo chamber for both his previous ideas and his oeuvre to come (Liz Jensen, Guardian)
Chilling and dazzling . . . but the real skill of the book is in its emotional impact. Mitchell makes you care about each of the narrators (Stuart Kelly, Scotland on Sunday)
Packed with heady ideas and pulsing with dark energy . . . both dazzlingly inventive and compulsively readable. (Malcolm Forbes, Financial Times)
An elegant fright-fest of the highest order . . . Mitchell masterfully, humorously, combines the classic components of a scary story - old house, dark alley, missing persons - with a realism, when describing the lives of the victims, that is pacy, funny and true. (Melissa Katsoulis, The Times)
A deliciously creepy story to be read for plot and for pleasure, with your heart racing, and your eyes involuntarily skipping forwards to find out what happens. (Claire Lowdon, Sunday Times)
Genuinely good, genuinely scary. (Harry Ritchie, Daily Mail)
[Mitchell] seamlessly brings together his clashing parallel realities through wordplay so dazzling it seems to defy its own gravitational rules. (Claire Allfree, Metro)
Irresistible (Hephzibah Anderson, Mail on Sunday)
Mitchell's most pleasurable book to date, which also features some of his finest writing (Jonathan Barnes, Literary Review)
Plants died, milk curdled, and my children went slightly feral as I succumbed to the creepy magic of David Mitchell's Slade House. It's a wildly inventive, chilling, and - for all its other-worldiness - wonderfully human haunted house story. I plan to return to its clutches quite often. (Gillian Flynn, author of Gone Girl)
Book Description
