- Summary:
- This delightfully surprising alternate-history mystery features much more than the reader bargains for: a clueless young nobleman in London, a shocking family secret, an unlikely love triangle...and a battle against supernatural forces featuring Aleister Crowley, a secret society, and cursed rabbits. Author David Liss has penned a series of successful historical novels, including the Edgar Award-winner, A Conspiracy of Paper; The Coffee Trader; A Spectacle of Corruption, The Ethical Assassin; and The Devil's Company. The Peculiarities will appeal strongly to Liss fans, as well as to a cross section of readers of alternative histories, occult/wiccan-inspired fiction, and Lovecraftian works. National marketing plan to include author and publisher social media campaigns, print and digital ARCs, book launch, author events and appearances, blog tour, podcasts, features, and interviews
