David Mitchell est connu en France pour son roman Cloud Atlas qui a été porté à l'écran par les frères Wachowski. Un article du guardian évoque son prochain roman, Slade House "de loin le livre le plus sombre que j'ai écrit" .
Slade house reviendra dans l'univers d'un de ses livres précédents, The Bone Clocks, un futur angoissant. David Michel dit également qu'il pense avoir créer sa propre version des Terres du milieux de J.R.R Tolkien pour tous ses prochains romans.
“You’re making your own Middle Earth aren’t you?” said his editor, to which Mitchell replied “Yeah, I suppose I am. I love large-scale exercises. The size of that world, that is the theme.”
Slade House
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’t want to leave. Later, you’ll find that you can’t. Every nine years, the house’s residents—an odd brother and sister—extend a unique invitation to someone who’s different or lonely: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it’s already too late. . . .
Spanning five decades, from the last days of the 1970s to the present, leaping genres, and barreling toward an astonishing conclusion, this intricately woven novel will pull you into a reality-warping new vision of the haunted house story—as only David Mitchell could imagine it.
