Wylding Hall is a Supernatural Fiction-Gothic Horror-Dark Fantasy novella by Elizabeth Hand. It tells the story of Windhollow Faire, a hippie-era acid-folk band who spent a summer at an ancient mansion located in an isolated patch of English countryside. That summer, they recorded the album that would make their reputation, but the mysterious disappearance of their lead singer Julian Blake meant there would never be a follow-up. The novel is a "Rashomon"-Style Scrapbook Story collecting the accounts of the surviving band members, the manager, and a few other witnesses. What was up with Wylding Hall? What really happened to Julian? And who on Earth was the pale, mysterious girl on the album cover?Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })

Ambiguous Disorder: Julian was incredibly smart and talented but hyperfocused on his interests and showed little interest in anything outside them, hated being touched, rarely spoke, and struggled and failed to make his unusual ideas understood by others. It's also made very clear that Julian had No Social Skills and didn't understand other people at all—Lesley even jokingly calls Julian's best friend William his "interpreter," and Tom refers to Julian as an "innocent" who needed to be protected from those who would take advantage of him. It's implied Julian's actions before his disappearance were attempts to reach out and find others who could understand the way he saw the world, but these efforts failed.

The '70s: The sequences at the Hall take place in the early seventies - early enough that the cultural vibe is still hippies and hash rather than disco and cocaine.
