David Mitchell wrote a short story on Twitter. I read it. It has been altered to become the first chapter of Slade House. That is better, because you don't have to scroll through tweets.
Man, goodreads catalogs everything. well, everything in English, anyway.
It's a nice creepy little short story. I look forward to the book!
I am not a huge fan of short stories, so my opinion is already biased from the start. And well, it's not really a book, is it? The 'gimmick' that it was serialized on Twitter was - to me at least- nothing more than a gimmick (Sorry David). The story gives us a (very) small flavour of The Bone Clocks but although well-written - you don't expect less from David Mitchell - is not much more than that - we've come to expect more from David Mitchell.
Great writing, even limited by the medium of Twitter. I'm intrigued enough to want to seek out Slade House and all Mitchell's other work.
An enjoyable experiment. I only read it as I intend complete my reading of everything listed here by Mitchell in the next few weeks. Really for completists only.
