The primary antagonists of the story are soul carnivores, people who learned dark arts in order to subsist on the souls of people with psychic gifts in order to maintain their youth.Continuity Nod: As with all of David Mitchell’s novels, Slade House contains references to his other works be they people, places or events.Anyone Can Die: Each of the main characters of the first 4 sections end up killed by the twins, and in the case of the former 3, their souls are devoured by the twins to maintain their immortality.Thankfully the plot becomes clearer as the story proceeds. It also deconstructs the haunted house genre. It can get really complicated and nightmarish for a novel that is under 200 pages, unlike Mitchell's previous works. It describes the exploits of five different individuals who enters the Slade House: a precocious teenager, a recently divorced policeman, a shy university student, a sister to that college student and one of the mysterious twins.
