Abstract
David Mitchell’s Slade House is a haunted house tale that has been described as “the ultimate spooky nursery tale for adults.” In his novel, Mitchell re-evaluates the shortcomings of the present through a postmodern lens while seeking to redress history’s representations of the vampire figure. He does so while critically commenting on the state of humanity’s connectivity, coupled with fears of moral and physical decay, and addressing the transmigration of souls across temporal space.
