Today is the official release date of THE MASQUERADES OF SPRING, the latest Rivers of London novella from Ben Aaronovitch! Published by Subterranean Press, it’s available in two limited editions and also eBook. Here’s the synopsis…
With this long new novella, bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch has crafted yet another wickedly funny and surprisingly affecting chapter in his beloved Rivers of London series.
The Subterranean Press edition of The Masquerades of Spring includes a wraparound dust jacket, illustrated endsheets, and six original black-and-white interior illustrations.
Meet Augustus Berrycloth-Young—fop, flaneur, and Englishman abroad—as he chronicles the Jazz Age from his perch atop the city that never sleeps.
That is, until his old friend Thomas Nightingale arrives, pursuing a rather mysterious affair concerning an old saxophone—which will take Gussie from his warm bed, to the cold shores of Long Island, and down to the jazz clubs where music, magic, and madness haunt the shadows…
There are 26 lettered editions available, housed in a custom tray-case; and 1,500 signed and numbered hardcovers.
THE MASQUERADES OF SPRING was published in the UK on September 5th by Gollancz/Orion (with the same cover), and was an instant Sunday Times Bestseller. The book is also available in Germany, published by DTV as EINE NACHTIGALL IN NEW YORK.
