Wylding Hall

This is part spooky ghost story and part exploration of the dynamics within a band. I think all the interpersonal stuff was great. The characters and their relationship felt real (the interview style helped with that) and I just enjoyed the sweet moments as well as the tense ones. I think some moments were magical and maybe memorable. There's noticeable love for the music and everyone's an individual. The spooky stuff is hinted at from the beginning, but it's not actually in that many chapters. I like that it's quite subtle and feels like one of the classic ghost stories, where it takes some time to get to the supernatural elements and there isn't any action, it's a lot about atmosphere. Still, I wish there was a little more, there was so much you could do with it. The book had the perfect length for the story it wanted to tell and it was an interesting experience.

This is like a haunted version of Daisy Jones & the Six - a band in the 60/70s, a story told through interviews, sex, drugs and rock'n roll (or folk, in this case)
