BOOK DESCRIPTION
The New York Times bestseller from the author of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas named one of the best books of the year by San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, Los Angeles Times, The Guardian, The Telegraph, National Post, BookPage and Kirkus Reviews
Keep your eyes peeled for a small black iron door.
Down the road from a working-class British pub, along the brick wall of a narrow lane, if conditions are perfect, you'll find the entrance to Slade House. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you in. At first you won't want to leave. Later you will find out that you can't. Every nine years, the inhabitants of the house, a strange brother and sister, extend a unique invitation to someone different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced police officer, a shy student. But what's really going on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it is already too late. . . .
Spanning five decades, from the waning days of the 1970s to the present, jumping genres and building toward a stunning conclusion, this complex novel will take you into a twisting new vision of the reality of the history of the haunted house, as only David Mitchell could do. imagine it.
Praise for Slade House
“A devilish delight. . . Mitchell is something of a magician. » – The Washington Post
“Entertaining and strange. . . We look to [Mitchell] for exciting puzzle palaces, for character studies, and for language. » –Chicago Tribune
“A heartbreaking thread. . . Like Shirley Jackson's Hill House or the Overlook Hotel in Stephen King's The Shining, [Slade House] is a thin piece of hell designed to trap the unwary. . . . As the Mitchellverse grows larger and more connected, this short but powerful novel hints at more wonders to come. » –San Francisco Chronicle
“Like Stephen King in fever. . . incredibly ingenious. » – The Guardian (UK)
"A haunted house story reminiscent of Dickens, Stephen King, JK Rowling and HP Lovecraft, but with more psychic tension than any of them." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
“Well-crafted and suspenseful but warmly human. . . the ultimate scary tale for adults. » – The Huffington Post
