Publisher's Summary

Prepare to be chilled, electrified and entertained - a gem of a novel from 'one of the most brilliantly inventive writers of this, or any country' (Independent).

Walk down narrow, clammy Slade Alley. Open the black iron door in the right-hand wall. Enter the sunlit garden of an old house that doesn't exactly make sense. A stranger greets you by name and invites you inside. At first, you won't want to leave. Too late, you find you can't....

A taut, intricately woven, reality-warping tale that begins in 1979 and comes to its turbulent conclusion at the wintry end of October 2015. Born out of the short story David Mitchell published on Twitter in 2014 and inhabiting the same universe as his latest best-selling novel The Bone Clocks, this is the perfect book to curl up with on a dark and stormy night.

Decent for fans of The Boneclocks

Dont bother unless you've read The Bone Clocks, this isnt necessarily a sequel but relies on the universe built in that book. Also it is pretty short, and could really have been culled down into a shorter story & included in a collection of short stories centred around that universe for the same price. Not a waste of money by any means, but nowhere near as good or long a read as its predecessor, which also costs 1 credit. Voice acting was on point.

Still waiting for it to pick up...

I read the first chapter of this on my kindle and was hooked so decided to use my audible credit for the whole book. Wish I hadn't. It just didn't really go anywhere, kept waiting for the spooky to kick in and get into a juicy story but instead I was spoon fed the plot. Ok for a time filler. Also the narrators were just to British chipper (I'm British lol) and it just irritated me. Could of been a super dark book but instead it was flatline.
