Why people recommend it
Slade House by David Mitchell is a chilling supernatural thriller that unfolds as a puzzle box narrative spanning several decades. On The Book Review podcast, John Williams discussed the forthcoming book after a listener mentioned it, noting that while it is a relatively short novel by the author's standards, his fans are always hungry for more. John Williams also mentioned the project on a previous episode, explaining that following the release of The Bone Clocks that past fall, the author would publish his seventh novel through Random House in late October. Greg Coles later discussed the book's appearance on the bestseller list at number eleven, observing that it serves as a kind of follow-up to The Bone Clocks featuring the same fantasy elements and the eternal war between supernatural forces of good and evil. Reviewers and hosts highlighted how the eerie, immersive tale expands upon the intricate mythologies established in the author's previous fiction.
