Serendipity Sellers was supposed to be attending a comic convention.
Instead, she accidentally broke the internet.
When a panel discussion turns into an unexpectedly public revelation about her relationship with the extradimensional entity known only as the nothing man, Ser finds herself at the center of a media firestorm, conspiracy theories, and more attention than she has ever wanted.
As thousands of fans descend on San Diego for a weekend of costumes, fandom, and celebration, someone else is watching from behind the scenes. Someone wealthy, powerful, and obsessed with the impossible.
Everett Cain has spent his life turning anomalies into assets.
Now he has found Ser.
With a convention full of witnesses, a trio of cryptid-podcast enthusiasts determined to help their favorite new superhero, friends struggling to keep up, and the nothing man learning what it means to protect someone in a world that now knows he exists, Ser finds herself caught between curiosity and obsession, fame and surveillance, love and ownership.
Because some monsters wear masks.
And some wear suits.
Darkly funny, emotionally sharp, and packed with mystery, fandom culture, and supernatural suspense, Of Masks and Monsters is the fourth installment in The Hollow Places series.
Perfect for fans of The X-Files, Supernatural, The Dresden Files, and stories that ask what happens when the real monster isn't the thing in the dark, it's the person trying to control it.
