It started life as a short story on social media, but “Slade House” is now set for publication in October 2015, the month in which its fictional conclusion takes place. Mitchell had originally distributed “The Right Sort” as a collection of 280 tweets, commencing on July 14, 2014.But, as explained in a joint statement with publisher Sceptre, it “quickly acquired a life of its own” as “scenes grew, bred and sprouted new scenes.”Eventually, “The Right Sort” became the first of a five-part novel that will see the light of day as “Slade House.”
