Spring Heeled Jack: Terrifying Urban Legends (Book 5)

He comes from the fog. He leaps from the rooftops. He leaves behind only fire and fear.

London, 1838. Panic grips the city as a clawed figure in a cloak terrorizes young women in the gaslit streets. Witnesses swear he leaps impossible heights, breathes fire, and vanishes into the mist. The newspapers give him a name: Spring Heeled Jack.

Nearly two centuries later, the sightings return. Historian Eliza Crane thinks she’s chasing folklore until claw marks appear outside her window and terrified Londoners whisper the same name that once haunted their ancestors. A cloaked figure leaps across rooftops. A blue flame burns in the dark. And every night, the legend grows bolder.

Is Jack a demon? A monster? Or something much worse—something that never left?
