The terror o' London, Ol' Spring Heel'd Jack!Spring-Heeled Jack - the original London bogeyman: a character of immense strength, leaping great distances, garbed as a demonic bat, bear, or ghost. Jack has influenced not just the horror genre but also the realm of comic book and movie media. A legend born out of 19th century folk lore and gossip, was he fiction or fact? Nobleman or pauper? Was he dreamed up as an upper class lark, or the imagining of victorian drunks? Featuring the original 'penny dreadful' story of Spring-Heeled Jack this latest volume of Goth also features tales by Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, George Elliot, and more: The Return of the Soul, Each Man Kills, The Terror By Night, Chickamauga, A Victim of Higher Space, The Child, The Waif Woman, and The Door in the Wall.
