Wow! This was a pretty creepy and twisted tale. This book was beautifully written and very interesting. The whole time I read it, Hotel California was playing on a loop inside my head. But what to say about it? It's kinda of the age-old tale of a man being too stupid or stubborn--or both-- to ...
'Slade House' by David Mitchell I've been keeping my eye on this one for a long time, it had an intriguing premise, but I was not expecting what this book delivered. I thought this book would be a more traditional haunted house story mashed with the party game 'Sardines'. This was pretty cool, tho...
One need not read The Bone Clocks to understand, follow and enjoy Slade House, though the world in which it's set will be familiar to those who who have read the other novel. Through five chapters set in five decades starting in the 1970s, we are sucked into a house that seems haunted and pretty s...
I still dislike present tense narratives, and I dislike them even more when the tense periodically shifts back and forth from present to past, and I almost didn’t make it through the asshole cop’s POV in the second chapter. But I’m glad I stuck it out. I still like Mitchell’s storytelling, and all t...
Yay! I finally did it! Bingo baby! Just finished the Halloween bingo with my last read of "Slade House By David Mitchell" Straight off the bat, I chose this because I felt it fitted into Magical Realism theme and I'm proper I glad I did as it fitted the theme perfectly. Slade house is a Strange li...
From the author of “Cloud Atlas” comes short, this highly imaginative and unconventional ghost story. Spanning approximately 36 years and five narrators (a miniature for this gifted writer), Slade House tells the story of a haunted house, the entrance to which appears only every five years on the l...
Synopsis: 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 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...
When I came across a paperback edition of Slade House last week in Waterstones in London, I couldn't resist buying it, even though normally I've set myself the rule not to buy more (paper) books from an author when I still have an unread book (i.e. The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet). The cover w...
Could not put this book down! An easy, quick, fun, creepy read. I’m looking forward to reading The Bone Clocks, which is set in the same universe as Slade House.
Every 9 years, there appears a small black iron door in the middle of a secluded alleyway. It is the entrance to the infamous Slade House. I enjoyed everything about this one. Dark. Unique. Well written. Excellent. A solid 4.5 Stars rounded up to 5 because...well, because I said so :)
