Spring Heeled Jack by Anonymous
A lurid, fast-paced account of a mysterious figure who terrorizes Victorian London with terrifying leaps, clawed hands and a devilish visage; the narrator collects eyewitness reports, newspaper sensationalism and police inquiries as panic spreads through the streets, while investigators and amateur sleuths pursue explanations that range from an elaborate human hoax to something supernatural, building to tense confrontations that expose social anxieties of the age yet leave the stranger’s true nature unsettlingly unresolved.
