5/23/2023 0 Comments The bone clocks goodreadsI’ve read elsewhere that this book takes place in the same universe as The Bone Clocks so I’m going to push for that to be my group’s creepy read next year. I didn’t realize Mitchell wove his books together so having elements of Cloud Atlas (Spyglass magazine in particular) were weird to me at first. There were parts of this book I wasn’t ready for. 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. But what really goes on inside Slade House? For those who find out, it’s already too late. 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. A stranger will greet you by name and invite you inside. 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.
