"Turn down Slade Alley - narrow, dank and easy to miss, even when
you're looking for it. Find the small black iron door set into the
right-hand wall. No handle, no keyhole, but at your touch it swings
open. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house that doesn't quite make
sense; too grand for the shabby neighbourhood, too large for the space
it occupies.
A stranger greets you and invites you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Later, you'll find that you can't.
This
unnerving, taut and intricately woven tale by one of our most original
and bewitching writers begins in 1979 and comes to its turbulent
conclusion around Hallowe'en, 2015. Because every nine years, on the
last Saturday of October, a 'guest' is summoned to Slade House. But why
has that person been chosen, by whom and for what purpose? The answers
lie waiting in the long attic, at the top of the stairs . . ."--Fantastic Fiction.
An uncommon advance copy.
