3 mixes for this book

Emily Wilde’s encyclopaedic, curmudgeonly scholarship meets the far-north chill of faerie folklore and the book’s growing warmth, skepticism, and peril. This playlist pairs otherworldly instrumentals (to mirror fieldwork, margins, and creeping magic) with lyrical songs (to echo longing, friendship, and the push-pull of danger and tenderness).
