Arkham Horror: Mask of Silver by Rosemary Jones

Mask of Silver

An Arkham Horror Novel

01-02-23 Cosmic Circus Review Mask of Silver

"Rosemary Jones weaves a spell-binding tale of unease and apprehension in Mask of Silver. With a boogeyman as insubstantial as Sydney’s hooded man, it’s a different kind of terror than most of the Arkham Horror series. Instead of jumping from a very specific monster, we want to run from a feeling, an atmosphere." - Cosmic Circus

06-04-22 Track of Words Review Mask of Silver

"Silent movies and quietly unsettling cosmic horror just seem like such a good match, and the pulpy but creepy Arkham Horror setting is a perfect place for this story to live – this isn’t a story concerned with jump scares, gore or anything outright nasty, but anyone interested in a creepy tale of life mirroring art in the era of silent movies is in for a treat" - Track of Words

05-01-21 SFRevu Review Mask of Silver

"This is a suspense story more than it is horror and we see it all through Jenny Lin's eyes. Jenny knows that Sydney is up to something. She knows the house is helping him. She knows that Renee is the pivot point and that the silver mask is evil. The suspense builds as recurring nightmares, inexplicable events, unlikely injuries, cast disappearances, and other accouterments of horror tales start happening as the solstice approaches." - SFRevu

05-01-2021 SF Revu Review Mask of Silver

"This is a suspense story more than it is horror and we see it all through Jenny Lin's eyes. Jenny knows that Sydney is up to something. She knows the house is helping him. She knows that Renee is the pivot point and that the silver mask is evil. The suspense builds as recurring nightmares, inexplicable events, unlikely injuries, cast disappearances, and other accouterments of horror tales start happening as the solstice approaches." - SF Revu

2021-08-10 Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer Review Mask of Silver

“Chilling, horrifying and thought-provoking in equal measure, Mask of Silver is a superlative piece of Arkham Horror fiction from Rosemary Jones, and is perhaps one of the best titles in the setting yet published by Aconyte Books. ” – Sci-Fi and Fantasy Reviewer

2021-06-23 History That Never Was Review Mask of Silver

“If you enjoy well-researched historical fiction and horror that is more about creepiness and something awful lurking nearby, you’ll enjoy Mask of Silver. Fans of Arkham Horror and other Lovecraftiana will also enjoy this clever twist on one of the mainstays of the Mythos.” – History That Never Was

2021-03-05 The Catbox Review Mask of Silver

“Absolutely gripping... I absolutely do recommend this, for the mood of Golden Age silent movies combined with ancient unknowable evils. Magic of all kinds, and regular folks trying to survive in many ways. I loved Mask of Silver, and am very much looking forward to the next title in this excellent series.” – The Catbox

2021-01-19 Fistful of Meeples review Mask of Silver

“I may have a new favorite Arkham story: Mask of Silver… [a] slow-burn work of unsettling horror.” – Fistful of Meeples

2020-12-24 Strange Assembly review Mask of Silver

“A slow burn, low-key tale of cosmic horror.” – Strange Assembly

2020-01-09 Lauren’s Bookshelf review Mask of Silver

“Mask of Silver definitely earned a five out of five from me, it is definitely worth giving a shot if you get the chance.” – Lauren's Bookshelf

Mask of Silver

An Arkham Horror Novel

By Rosemary Jones

A stunning return to Arkham Horror when a movie director shoots his silent horror masterpiece in eerie Arkham, capturing crawling nightmares instead of moving pictures, in this chilling novel of creeping dread

Hollywood make-up artist and costumier, Jeany Lin, travels to Arkham to work on the new “nightmare movie” by enigmatic director Sydney Fitzmaurice. The star is her sister, Renee Love, Sydney’s collaborator and lover. Desperate to outdo the thrills and terror of Lon Chaney’s popular pictures, Sydney prepares occult-infused dream sequences for Love and her co-stars to perform. But there’s more than mere imagery at play as the cast suffer recurring nightmares, accidents, and impossible waking visions. When events take a sinister turn and people start dying on set, it’s up to Jeany to unmask the monsters before Sydney’s obsessions doom them all.

Arkham Horror

It is the height of the Roaring Twenties – a fresh enthusiasm for the arts, science, and exploration of the past have opened doors to a wider world, and beyond… And yet, a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the thresholds between worlds. Eldritch rituals must be stopped and alien creatures destroyed; before the Ancient Ones make our world their ruined dominion. Only a handful of investigators stand against the horrors threatening to tear this world apart. Will they prevail?
