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 stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. At first, you won t want to leave. Later, you ll find that you can t. 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. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it s already too late. . . .
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.
Praise for "Slade House"
Devilishly fun. "The Washington Post"
Entertainingly eerie . . . "Slade House" boils down to Mitchell s take on the classic ghost story, complete with his version of a haunted house. . . . The last thing we expected from Mitchell is simplicity, but here it is, burnished to a hellish bronze. "Chicago Tribune"

A ripping yarn . . . Like Shirley Jackson s Hill House or the Overlook Hotel from Stephen King s "The Shining, " Slade House] is a thin sliver of hell designed to entrap the unwary. . . . As the Mitchellverse grows ever more expansive and connected, this short but powerful novel hints at still more marvels to come. "San Francisco Chronicle"
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 otherworldliness wonderfully human haunted house story. I plan to return to its clutches quite often. Gillian Flynn, #1"New York Times"bestselling author of"Gone Girl"and"The Grownup"
I gulped down this novel in a single evening. Painstakingly imagined and crackling with narrative velocity, it s a "Dracula" for the new millennium, a "Hansel and Gretel" for grownups, a reminder of how much fun fiction can be. Anthony Doerr, author of "All the Light We Cannot See, "winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Mitchell doesn t break rules so much as prove them inhibitors to lively, intelligent fiction. Dean Koontz, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author

Mitchell has long been acknowledged as one of the finest if not "the" finest literary minds of his generation, but he s also one of the most suspenseful. Joe Hill, "New York Times" bestselling author of "NOS4A2" and "Horns"

Sharp, fast, flat-out spooky, "Slade House" is such a hypnotic read that you are likely to miss your subway stop in order to keep reading. And by you, I mean me. Daniel Handler, "New York Times" bestselling author of the Lemony Snicket series"
