New Treasures: These Vicious Masks by Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas
Well here’s something interesting — a Victorian era superhero novel. Debut novelists Tarun Shanker and Kelly Zekas bring us the tale of Evelyn Wyndham and her sister Rose, a Victorian adventure featuring evening parties, abductions, a love triangle, witty dialog, mysterious and secret societies, fog-shrouded London, villains with phenomenal abilities, intrigue, mystery, and more. It’s being called Jane Austen meets X-Men, which isn’t a description I hear very often.
These Vicious Masks was published by Swoon Reads on February 9, 2016. It is 320 pages, priced at $9.99 for both the trade paperback and digital editions. The cover is by Rich Deas.

Cool cover too. And as usual, certain big name online retailer has even lower prices for both e-version and paperback, $7.09 and $6.13 respectively at the moment. Given the lower price for the paperback, I’ve already ordered that version.
