Holbrook's is a fictional location from the Wild Cards series of books.
Description[]
Holbrook's is a small place, dimly lit, but richly appointed. Draped with dark velvet curtains, there are displays of elaborate tribal masks as well as some expensive, commercially produced masks.
Background History[]
In Jokertown you could buy a cheap plastic mask for under two bucks in any candy store, good enough to hide your face, but in Jokertown a cheap mask is like a cheap suit.
One of Charles Dutton’s first business ventures in Jokertown, Holbrook's sells some expensive, commercially produced masks, but their specialty is one-of-a-kind creations that can cost several thousand dollars apiece. They can even build custom prescription eyepieces made to fit any mask you buy.
