Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Three: Slade House

I didn't get what I was expecting (a story about a community of misfits) from David Mitchell's Slade House, but I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this twisted haunted house story.  Each chapter is from the perspective of a different "guest" at Slade House (hint: the so-called guests are never seen again), and we slowly get enough information to figure out what's been going on at the mysterious Slade House.  The end doesn't offer much resolution, so if that puts you off, this may not be the book for you, but if you're looking for a milder horror story, or  if you're already gearing up for Halloween, Slade House is a contemporary take on the creepy tale that is worth your time.
