Spring-Heeled Jack: The Terror of London revives a chilling Victorian mystery that once set London s gaslit streets trembling.This gripping collection follows the eerie tales of an enigmatic figure who springs from rooftop to rooftop, leaving a trail of scratched doors, singed clothing, and terrified witnesses. Blurring the lines between historical reportage and Gothic fiction, the stories combine pulse-pounding suspense, supernatural crime, and a detective s obsession as Londoners chase explanations through alleyways, courtrooms, and opium dens. At once a historical thriller and a study in urban panic, the book explores how fear becomes legend and how a mysterious vigilante can become both monster and myth.Long out of print, this work has been painstakingly restored and republished by Alpha Editions for today s readers and future generations. This edition is more than a reprint: it s a collector s item and cultural treasure that reunites classic suspense with modern readability, complete with faithful text restoration and contextual clarity for the 21st-century reader.Perfect for fans of 19th-century horror, British folklore, and Gothic fiction, Spring-Heeled Jack will grip casual readers and classic literature collectors alike. Lose yourself in eerie London streets, pursue the enigmatic figure who redefined Victorian mystery, and decide for yourself whether legend or truth walks beneath the gaslight.
