Sinossi

This BOOK IS A RETELLING OF A POLICE ACCOUNT BURIED IN THE ENDLESS FILES OF JOHN GRIFFIN. INTEREstingLY ENOUGH, THE REPORT WAS NEARLY WITHHELD, AND IT WAS ONLY WITH MUCH PERSuasion THAT WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN IT. THE EVENTS YOU ARE ABOUT TO BE TOLD OF ARE SAID TO BE LEGEND, AND MANY WOULD SCOFF AT THEY'RE AUTHENTICITY. BUT THE SHADOW OF THE PHANTOM ATTACKER OF THIS STORY WAS ALL TOO REAL. 1800'S LONDON WAS IN A TURBULENT STATE, PLAGUED BY POVERTY, THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION, AND FEAR OF JACK THE RIPPER. BUT MANY YEARS BEFORE THE RIPPER, A GHOULISH CHARACTER WITH MANY PARALLELS WAS ALREADY TERRorizING THE COMMUNITY. THEY CALLED HIM BY MULTIPLE NAMES, THE MOST PREVALENT OF WHICH, WAS “SPRING HEELED JACK”. HE ATTACKED WOMEN, HE FRIGHTENED CHILDREN, AND HE SLAPPED AND JEERED AT MEN, ALL WHILE LAUGHING INCESSANTLY. Who was he? Nobody knows. He was far too fast too be caught, too clever to trap, and too strange to comprehend. Thus, his identity remains a secret. Of everything said about him, the strangest bits are the stories of his abilities. He was said to breathe fire. He looked as ugly and frail as a corpse, and yet he could clear an over ten foot wall with no devices to assist him. Some would say he did this by artificial means, and maybe they're right. Some would attribute his feats to mass hysteria, and yet that's rather hard to swallow. We should, however that nothing like him has resurfaced. But what about our story? Here reader, you must draw your own conclusions. I cannot sway your true instincts. For, if we all went along with everything, if we all believed everything we were told to believe, then the world would be a whole lot more boring now wouldn't it? Now, sit back and Enjoy this, the first installment of...”the terror of london trilogy”. Jack e. brix. Author.
