Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Slade House is a horror mystery novel written by David Mitchell, published in 2015. It describes the exploits of five different individuals who enters the Slade House: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy university student, a sister to that college student and one of the mysterious twins.It can get really complicated and nightmarish for a novel that is under 200 pages, unlike Mitchell's previous works. It also deconstructs the haunted house genre. Thankfully the plot becomes clearer as the story proceeds.

Continuity Nod: As with all of David Mitchell’s novels, Slade House contains references to his other works; be they people, places or events. The primary antagonists of the story are soul carnivores, people who learned dark arts in order to subsist on the souls of people with psychic gifts in order to maintain their youth. Soul carnivores are first introduced in The Bone Clocks. A vision of Mrs. Bishop presented to Inspector Edmonds mentions that she has dreamed of being carried away to Zedelghem by the composer Vyvyan Ayrs, a direct reference to Cloud Atlas. Sally’s crush mentions that his mother transcribed the Crispin Hershey novel Desiccated Embryos. Hershey is a main character in Literature/The Bone Clocks.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Mind Screw: At times, you can’t tell what is real and what is not. Others, like all the historical-backstory in Freya’s story.
