The Wild Hunt - Softcover

The Wild Hunt is Victoria Branden's seventh book, third novel. It is her first attempt at the horror genre; her earlier work leans towards comedy. Her other two novels, Mrs. Job and Flitterin' Judas, are extremely funny; even her non-fiction is full of wry humor, although two of its examples (Understanding Ghosts and Give Up the Ghost) concern a different subject: scientific interpretation of paranormal manifestations. Of the two others, In Defense of Plain English deals with the deterioration of English usage; one enthusiast described how, when she was reading it on the subway, she laughed so much that another passenger remarked, "that must be a funny book -- what's it about?" "You should have seen her face," reported the reader, "when I said it was about grammar." The Book of Canadian Snobs is also good fun, as well as a penetrating study of modern Canadian social values.

Ms. Branden is currently working on her magnum opus, a study of the mystic experience and mystic philosophy, in non-supernatural terms, tentatively entitled Pure and Endless Light.
