Product description
WE ALL WEAR MASKS…BUT MALLORY HEADLY'S HAVE A LIFE OF THEIR OWN! Mallory Headley has always seen the magic in the world, even and perhaps especially in places others might consider strange or frightful. And in 1950s Hollywood, she's brought that vision to the big screen working on Galaxy Pictures' monster flicks, creating creature masks as a less-than-valued employee of the famed Leonard family's special effects house. Each mask has been the star of their own movie--the Thing from the Muck, Baba Yaga the witch, and Koschei the vampire--yet Mallory's never gotten due credit for her craftsmanship. But Mallory has another secret she's carefully guarded her whole life long: The masks she makes come alive in her presence. While most of the world sees them as terrifying fictional monsters that haunt the imagination long after the credits roll, to Mallory they are her only true and very real family. And Mallory will discover the lengths to which she'll go to protect that family when someone breaks into her trailer and violently kidnaps the masks, sending her down a path of vengeance both fantastical and brutal.
