But for the most part, I enjoyed it and it was well-handled.If Nick Drake and Sandy Denny recorded "Liege & Lief" on the sunny lawns of Hill House, I could not love this novella any more than I do now. That was the live spark he’d been carrying, the bright ember he kept in his pocket to start a fire whenever he stopped. There are no answers to the mystery, just a lingering sense of unease and questions about what happened.
Highly recommended. Wylding Hall is an oral history of a folk band that never was. The songs they record that summer make an album that nobody will ever forget....but dark things happen as well. Decades later, members of the band, their agent and others including a photographer and psychic meet with a documentary filmmaker to talk about their memories of that summer. If you have ever been caught up following any music group during your life, a group of mere mortals that you truly loved but then they simply faded from sight, then this book will probably fill some of those empty spaces. When writing a post on Elizabeth Hand’s writing for a series called “That Was Awesome,” there’s a certain temptation to shortcut the entire thing, and simply list her bibliography. Happens after the disappearance has occurred, happens after the band has left Wylding Hall.And perhaps that’s why it works—that the weird becomes inescapable when seen in a sterile office, rather than in the otherworldly walls of Wylding Hall. Just enough explanation for it to make sense but not so much you feel you know exactly what happened. The Photographs. People talk about carrying the torch, but I always think of that man they found in the ice up in the Alps. This book is what happens when Daisy Jones and the Six meets the Haunting at Hill House. We’d love your help. This is one of those books that I see mentioned online in "Great Horror Books" lists all the time, and my curiosity has grown over the years. These are songs that have been around for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. And where is Julian Blake?A while back I fell in love with a series of books called "the Haunted Ballads", songs that took on lives and mysteries of their own, this book reminded me of those.A while back I fell in love with a series of books called "the Haunted Ballads", songs that took on lives and mysteries of their own, this book reminded me of those.I greatly enjoyed this novel, which plays out as a slow-burn of quiet horror steeped in a landscape of otherwordliness. Not a historical gothic novel like the cover made me thinkI'd been trying to get my hands on this book for a long time but for some reason it can be tricky to track down. Dark and strange things happen, including the disappearance of the band's lead vocalist, Julian Blake. Elizabeth Hand has each band member, and a few other characters, provide their perspectives on the events leading up to the disappearance of the band's guitarist (who is also one of the songwriters). Folk music is like that. This was my first book by Elizabeth Hand and she wrote a haunting ghost story that just sweeps you away. It is also the history of a haunting. She is a longtime contributor to numerous publications, including the Washington Post Book World and the Village Voice Literary Supplement. Their agent sent them there to get away from it all so they could plan and work on their first album. I knew basically nothing about this book so this was quite a surprise. It’s told as if it’s a series of interviews — possibly for radio or just for someone who would later transcribe them for a book, as they’re spontaneous and involve people revealing details they’re not sure of, or don’t want to share too widely. Admirers of the author's long story in a similar vein - 'Near Zennor' - will probably enjoy this novella as much as I did.Told from a multitude of perspectives, interview style, this one moved fairly quickly and was a slow burn at the same time. I read Wylding Hall directly after finishing Hand's latest Cass Neary book. He’d been under the snow for 1,200 years, and when they discovered him, he was still wearing his clothes, a cloak of woven grass and a bearskin cap, and in his pocket they found a little bag of grass and tinder and a bit of dead coal. This makes it all the more disappointing though as it shows the author can really write a good horror scene, and the fact that this was not done often is truly a waste. There they record Wylding Hall, the album that makes their reputation-- but at a terrifying cost, when Julian Blake, their new lead singer, disappears within the mansion and is never seen again. May 2015 Sessily Watt Facing the Raven's Eye What Can't Be Known in Wylding Hall. Not really but she made the band so real! i think that's what "the girl" was. Not sure how that worked, but that’s how it felt.Told from a multitude of perspectives, interview style, this one moved fairly quickly and was a slow burn at the same time. (It does appear to have an audiobook now, which I would definitely recommend trying out though I did it in print.) Their agent sent them there to get away from it all so they could plan and work on their first album. So the only way those songs lived and got passed on was by singers. Credit where credit is due, this is an extremely creepy and effective scene; well written and genuinely unnerving to me. turns out most of the folk songs mentioned in this book are real. Loved it. February 17th 2015 There’s room for weirdness to slip in around the edges, and it does, quietly creeping in, until it become impossible to ignore.Except that the weird things that are happening are also, almost always, explainable. And the relationships between them revealed in the way theWylding Hall is a pretty short novel with an interesting structure. If I conduct a real-time review of it, my comments will appear in the thought stream below or by clicking on this post’s title above. This book uses an oral history style, similar to recent hit DAISY JONES AND THE SIX. by Open Road Integrated Not sure how that worked, but that’s how it felt.Wylding Hall is a pretty short novel with an interesting structure. but i think Julian really summoned something in Wylding Hall, maybe a fey person.
