About this listen

In the aftermath of the mysterious death of their lead singer, the young members of a now-legendary British acid folk band hole up at Wylding Hall, an ancient English country house with its own dark secrets. 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.

Now, years later, the surviving musicians and their friends and lovers - including a psychic, a photographer, and the band's manager - meet with a young documentary filmmaker to tell their own versions of what happened during that summer. But whose story is the true one? And what really happened to Julian Blake?

Fleetwood Mac has made a spooky book. Evocative of ancient English countryside mixed with 70s rock and roll high times. Rushed ending.

Engrossing and atmospheric

Really good story, well told. The audio version was nicely done. Creepy atmosphere throughout the book.

Creepy and interesting

At first I wasn't sure I liked the format but I stuck with it and the different characters formed around a very clever way of telling the whole story. I found it very enjoyable, a bit predictable but none the worse for it, great description within the narrative built mind pictures of a gentle summer, carefree people and hidden depths to the tale.

Something a bit different, very enjoyable.

This mystery holds the reader. Set in the 70's, it evokes the mood of the time & music scene well. The visual representation of the girl & the photos is spooky & well-written.

Good supernatural mystery

I enjoyed the mystery aspect of this book was disappointed it led nowhere. Many good books finish with an open end but it felt like there should have been another, meatier 3rd at the end of the book.

Promising but lacked substance

A great ghost story but it doesn’t really go anywhere. I’d have liked to have known more about what happened and to have spent longer exploring the strange goings on at Wylding Hall. It all felt rather rushed and unfinished at the end which is such a shame as there are some great ideas in it.

Spooky journey, but feels like a missed opportunity

Folk horror at it's very best. Good story and yokel local phrases. Still haven't worked it out though

Hippy dream or nightmarw

I'm not sure if I liked it or not. but I had to listen to the end and it left me thinking "mmmm, interesting"

odd ghost story but intriguing

read like an interview with excellent detail portraying great atmosphere. It makes you want to be there.

very enjoyable

I had high hopes for this book but didn’t find it an easy read. I got bored quickly and it was a bit of a chore to finish as I didn’t feel I needed to know what happened. Characters were cool, but nothing really came of the story.

Fell a bit flat.
