Hello,
Since the list is sorta kinda functioning, I would to send out another book recommendation. This one came via an old friend. We met in science fiction fandom as 15 year olds and are still good friends.
It's Elizabeth Hand's latest book, Wylding Hall.
Take a group of young English folk musicians in the early '70s; put them in an old, large, isolated house in the middle of nowhere Hampshire (hey -- not far from where I live :); and see what spooky things happen. It's told from different perspectives, years later, with different people ( band members, an NME journalist, the band's former manager etc.) talking to a music journalist about the band for a book.
There are shades of Fairport Convention hanging out in rural Sussex trying to work on new material here, along with fantasy elements. I really enjoyed it.
See more details here.
