Editorial Reviews

Product Description

It is 1889, one year after the Ripper murders plagued London's East End.

It's Hallowe'en and homeless man Jack McClay is preparing to hand out treats to the poor children that wander the city streets. But like last autumn, something sinister lurks in the dark and this particular creature is out for one thing: blood, and it doesn't care where it gets it. The creature appears . . . and it's all skin and bones.

Clik-clakity-clak-clak.

Mr. Jitterbones has arrived.

This story also features the bonus poem, "The Night Mr. Jitterbones Came A'Hauntin'."

Mr. Jitterbones is quintessential Fuchs -- A bit of comic book fun, a bit of Jack the Ripper lore. As always he does a great job of creating a rich atmosphere and likable characters. The ending really turns things on its head and leaves a shiver. To top it off, there is a great bit of poetry added on to create a nice little myth about the villain. A spooky, fun Halloween read that's good any time of the year.

I remember reading Mr. Jitterbones years ago in a Halloween themed anthology and diggin' it. Unfortunately, that anthology didn't last due to a poor publisher so I was excited to see this available again, and thrilled to find an original poem tagged on to the end of the story.

If you read enough of AP's stories, you'll see he has an obsession with Jack the Ripper, and who knows, perhaps Fuchs has the story right in Mr. Jitterbones. It's a creepy Halloween tale that can be enjoyed any time of year. Though it's slow to start, the story has staying power and is perfect for this medium.

Check it out for yourself, and if you hear those bones a knockin'....
