Who or what was Spring Heeled Jack? This book explores most of the major theories of possible origins of this Victorian legend. Was he a mad-genius prankster, an alien, ghost, animal, or the devil himself? With all of today's fantastic characters, creatures, and machines, Spring Heeled Jack might not seem all that incredible. However, if you had lived in the time period that he lurked about and was misfortunate enough to encounter him, this event might have been a life-altering experience. Several people of that time were witness to this phenomenon and were affected by something that has never been explained. I have attempted to regress the reader back to when the horse was still a common mode of transportation and streets were lit by gas. While my characters are all fictional, remember that Spring Heeled Jack was the real deal.
