Today, we wanted to share an interview with Ben Aaronovitch from a little while ago — it was published shortly before the release of THE MASQUERADES OF SPRING. In the interview, Ben and the hosts ‘discuss the origins of the series, cover the novels, novellas and graphic novels and look to the future’.

THE MASQUERADES OF SPRING is out now, published by Gollancz/Orion in the UK, Subterranean Press in North America, and DTV in Germany. Here’s the synopsis…

New York City, New York.

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…

The next book in the series is STONE AND SKY, due out in July 2025.
