Review of 'Wylding Hall' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
A very excellent book, though the ending was a little abrupt for me. Highly recommended for fans of light horror, folk music, and folk... horror? Is that a genre? It feels like it should be. The horror that comes from lush forests overgrown with myths and legends, that sound behind you you're not sure you really just heard- that's the kind of horror this book lends itself to. Several scenes are reminiscent of the stories you told in middle school sleepovers, without an ending or a proper beginning, but a rich and terrifying middle.
