It is not the sort of playfulness of Nabokov or John Fowles - it comes from a more metaphysical place, and you can hear Mitchell sniggering and licking his lips as he attacks the keyboard, conjuring up new delights or horrors for his readers. In Slade House (Sceptre/Hachette Australia, 2015, 233pp) he beguiles, teases and plays with the reader in a way that is both delightful and sometimes a tad irritating. When an author writes prose and dialogue as well as David Mitchell (shortlisted and long listed for the MAN Booker Prize more than once) he can get away with almost anything. The Slade House, which has been described, inadequately, as ‘a ghost story’, started life as a series of 140-word tweets, which became a novelette and then developed into a slightly longer novel. ![]() ![]() Only one year after his much-heralded The Bone Clocks (2014), Mitchell has published a new, shorter book, which had an interesting genesis. He is the author of seven other (mostly creepy and always very readable) novels. ![]() David Mitchell is probably best known for his novel Cloud Atlas (2012), which was made into a film. ![]() Baden sawyer bennett6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() Suffering from wounds that can’t be seen, Sophie Winters has withdrawn from the world in fear and guilt. ![]() While my injuries are physical, the same can’t be said for the woman I rescued.

Instead of lacing up my skates and hitting the ice, I’ve spent my days in rehab and physical therapy just so I could walk again. As part of the defending Cup champion Arizona Vengeance, I was living my dream until one split second decision destroyed it all. I worked my whole life to achieve one goal-play professional hockey. After suffering a horrific injury that threatens to end his career, Baden Oulett is about to learn that sometimes a fresh start is just what the doctor ordered. ![]() The Shamer's Daughter by Lene Kaaberbøl6/28/2023 ![]() ![]() Bibliography Translated works The Shamer Chronicles Having resided on Zealand, Kaaberbøl now lives in Sark, in the Channel Islands, close to France.
