Description
Slade House is a chilling and intricately woven tale by one of the most original and bewitching writers of our time. The story begins in 1979 and unfolds over nearly four decades, leading to a turbulent conclusion around Hallowe'en, 2015. Every nine years, on the last Saturday of October, a 'guest' is summoned to Slade House, but why has that person been chosen, by whom, and for what purpose? As the narrative unfolds, the boundaries between reality and the supernatural begin to blur. The house itself seems to be a character, with its grandeur and shabbiness, its sunlit garden and long attic. The answers to the mystery lie hidden in the attic, waiting to be discovered. David Mitchell's writing is a masterclass in atmosphere and suspense, weaving a tale that is both unnerving and taut. If you're drawn to stories that explore the darker corners of human experience, Slade House is a worthwhile read.
