Mask of Silver: An Arkham Horror Novel by Rosemary Jones

3.0

Mask of Silver was an interesting read. The heroine of the story is set to be an outcast of the country's political awareness of the 1920s. So her standoffish, and keep to herself attitude seemed a little off-putting at first. Within the first couple of chapters, you could deduce that the main antagonist of the story was going to be obvious. However, gathering information and the reasons behind the actions and the purpose of the movie they were creating, it wasn't clear besides the "take over the world" evil villain trope, which only appears within the last couple of chapters of the novel itself. That lead to a slightly anticlimactic ending with the characters.

I did enjoy the setting of Arkham in this book. The house does give a creepy, yet specificated setting within. It makes you want to visit New England with how the house is written and described.

All in total it is a good read, but not compared to the other novels in the Arkham Horror series.
