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.
