Slade House

David Mitchell's 2015 novel about a house on Slade Alley in England that is normally impossible to find, but appears to various people who stumble upon or discover it between the 1970s and the 2010s. In truth, the house is a ruse being used by Carnivores, Jonah Grayer and Norah Grayer, to draw in unsuspecting victims and consume their souls in order to prolong Jonah and Norah's own lives. Dr. Iris Marinus-Fenby (an Horologist and recurring character also featured in The Bone Clocks and The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet) finally discovers and stops this wicked practice at the novel's close.

Fern Penhaligon appears in this novel as a student attending a meeting of the Paranormal Society, which is sponsoring a trip to search for the house on Slade Alley. Fern is the sister of Jonny Penhaligon, who commits suicide in The Bone Clocks, starting a chain of events that lead Hugo Lamb to believe he may be arrested, which factors into his decision to join the Anchorites.
