"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 surreal place where visitors see what they want to see, including some things that should be impossible. 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 divorced policeman, a shy college student. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it's already too late" --

Review of 'Slade house' on 'Goodreads'

Decently written, but inexplicably boring. I've read that Mitchell's built an entire mythos, so maybe this book would've resonated more if I'd read some of his other books, but I somehow doubt it. The backstory/interview felt like scaffolding for a predictable plot.
