Episode 5 of 5

A shady character waits near Slade Alley to greet Dr Iris Marinus-Fenby, who is following a trail from the late Fred Pink's diaries. Read by Amelia Lowdell.

Behind a small iron door in a twisting alley lies Slade House, an eerie mansion that is somehow too large for the space it occupies. Every nine years, a 'guest' is summoned to the house but why has that person been chosen, and by whom? David Mitchell's chilling new novel unfolds over decades and is a spine-tingling, wintry delight.
