Mitchell is something of a magician.” - The Washington Post Spanning five decades, from the last days of the 1970s to the present, leaping genres, and barreling toward an astonishing conclusion, this intricately woven novel will pull you into a reality-warping new vision of the haunted house story-as only David Mitchell could imagine it. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it’s already too late. Every nine 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 recently divorced policeman, a shy college student.
A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside.
Keep your eyes peeled for a small black iron door.ĭown 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. The New York Times bestseller by 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
