Penguin Books"It's exciting to dress like your characters and to get some of that feel, and to be a little nerdy, to want to be the first cosplayers." Watch THE MORTONS authors @scott_westerfeld and @drjustinefancypants talk about their experience cosplaying as their creations. The Mortons are a modern-day, old-money dynasty with impeccable taste, from their exquisitely crafted cocktails to their expertly tailored vintage garments. They are also stone-cold killers. When Jessica Morton, the prodigy of her generation, commits her first kill, what unravels is a series of revelations spanning the Mortons’ country estate, the New York City art world, and Helshire, the college all crime families attend. Have you ever cosplayed as a character from a book? Are you feeling inspired this Halloween? Let us know in the comments 👇
