Publisher's Synopsis
What if Frederick Treves, the kindly Victorian surgeon and protector of the hideously deformed Joseph Merrick, was in actuality Jack the Ripper? That is the premise of this dark, gothic tale from the mind of writer/spiritualist channeler Tom Baker. The author of Awakenings takes you on a harrowing journey, into the realm of the mystical, and re-writes both his own history and that of the long-suffering Merrick, in an exploration of the monstrous side of human longings and supernatural visitation. Come with us, and tour the fog-shrouded streets of Whitechapel. But beware! behind every corner, a shadow lurks... This edition has been revised and includes a special appendix, as well as photo-illustrations.
