The Right Sort, 1979

Episode 1 of 5

Nathan is dragged to Slade House by his pianist mother, who is desperate to make the right impression on her potential patron Lady Grayer. Read by James Anthony Pearson.

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.
