At the end of the nineteenth century, the newspaper The Funny Wonder ran a serial called The Human Bat which asserted to be the True Story of Spring-Heeled Jack. Published in weekly episodes the story begins with a young clerk, Lionel Hope, accused of committing crimes in the guise of Spring-heeled Jack. The likeness published in the local newspaper is so similar to Lionel that even his own father believes him guilty. The Funny Wonder ran a competition for readers to deduce the Bat's identity, with the winner receiving a gold watch! At the same time, Lionel and a handful of friends face terrible dangers as they attempt to thwart the Bat's evil plans. This is the first time this story has been collated in a single volume and includes a new introduction by J.S. Mackley.
