About the Book
Illustrated by Greg Ruth.
The world knows Jack London as a writer who lived his own thrilling,
real-life adventures. But there are parts of his life that have remained hidden for many years, things so horrifying even he couldn’t set them
down in writing. These are the Secret Journeys of Jack London.
We meet Jack at age seventeen, following thousands of men and women into
the Yukon Territory in search of gold. For Jack, the journey holds the
promise of another kind of fortune: challenge and adventure. But what he finds in the wild north is something far more sinister than he could
ever have imagined: kidnapping and slavery, the murderous nature of
desperate men, and, amidst it all, supernatural beasts of the wilderness that prey upon the weakness in men’s hearts.
Acclaimed writers
Christopher Golden and Tim Lebbon, along with illustrator Greg Ruth,
have crafted a masterful tale both classic and contemporary, a gripping
original story of the paranormal in the tradition of the great Jack
London.
