When a young British acid-folk band retreats to a crumbling estate to record their defining album, they expect inspiration—not terror. Wylding Hall is ancient, isolated, and steeped in secrets. But something within its ivy-clad walls has been waiting.
The music they create will become legendary. But so will the mystery.
Julian Blake—lead singer, haunting voice, rising star—vanishes into thin air.
Years later, the surviving members reunite to recount what really happened in that strange summer of superstition, shadows, and supernatural dread. But memory is unreliable, and their stories don’t quite match.
Did something take Julian? Or did he choose to disappear?
In this Shirley Jackson Award–winning gothic horror, truth is a shifting thing—much like the hall itself.
Some doors should never be opened.
