Publishers Weekly,In this grisly fantasy from Kirby (the Dark Gravity Sequence), the year is 1888 and London's slums are soon to be terrorized by Leather Apron (later known as Jack the Ripper), who murders prostitutes in the most gruesome manner possible. In a nearby East End hospital resides a monster of a gentler sort: Joseph Merrick, the Elephant Man, who has a new maid, 17-year-old Evelyn Fallows. Some would label Evelyn a monster as well, her jaw destroyed by phosphorus necrosis from working in a match factory. Evelyn is initially repulsed by Merrick's deformity, but she soon recognizes him as a gentle soul. After the murders commence, the ghosts of Leather Apron's victims begin to appear in Merrick's room. Concerned about the effect of these monstrous apparitions on Merrick's health, Evelyn ventures into the slums in an attempt to put the suffering ghosts to rest. Evelyn-all grit, anger, and distrust-is a complex and engaging character, the slums and slang of Victorian-era London are carefully delineated, and the eventual revelation of Leather Apron's identity and fate will leave readers gasping. Ages 12-up. Agent: Stephen Fraser, Jennifer De Chiara Literary. (Sept.) ??? Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.
