"You can never go home again," the saying goes—but Hal, Athena, and Erin have to. In high school, the three were students of the eccentric Professor Marsh, trained in a secret system of magic known as the Dissonance, which is built around harnessing negative emotions: alienation, anger, pain. Then, twenty years ago, something happened that shattered their coven, scattering them across the country, stuck in mundane lives, alone. But now, terrifying signs and portents (not to mention a pointed Facebook invite) have summoned them back to Clegg, Texas.

THE DISSONANCE: Sophomore novel from Shaun Hammil takes modern fantasy to a new level
Revisado: 08-23-24
There is something magical (no pun intended) in the way that Shaun Hamill writes. In both this, his second novel The Dissonance and his first, the horror epic A Cosmology of Monsters, Hamill weaves a continuous mystery that comes to a satisfying finale. I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that is so adept at walking the high wire of world-building, intrigue, and a weaving a pervasive, unyielding interest in his creations that, in story, lasts throughout the decades of a cast of characters' lives.
In The Dissonance a group of school friends discover a secret about the world. As their relationships grow - and you become invested in their hopes, dreams, flaws, and regrets - a world is built around them that is filled with thrilling new ideas and wholly relatable relationships.
It's best not to know too much going in and to allow the world (or perhaps multiple worlds?) to take shape as you enjoy the ride.
In just two novels, Hamill has become one of my favorite authors. The Lovecraftian touch that permeates his work is right up my alley, and his prose is HIGHLY readable and often surprising and delightful.
Run, don't walk. Read The Dissonance. I'd say take a time machine back to its release date so you won't feel like you've been missing out, but time travel is STRICTLY forbidden.
