Slade House

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.

All the intelligence and linguistic dazzle of a David Mitchell novel, but this one will also creep the pants off you . . . you won't be able to put this book down.

An eerie haunted-house tale . . . a spellbinding chiller about an unnatural greed for life and the arrogance of power.

Sharp, fast, flat-out spooky . . . a hypnotic read

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 . . . I read in a constant state of terror and joy and could not turn the pages fast enough.

Fans of The Bone Clocks and Cloud Atlas will recognize the interlocking narrative structure and literary-fantastical bent . . . who doesn't want to just drink up all of Mitchell's writing? - Library Journal
