Secret Journeys of Jack London

Secret Journeys of Jack London is a combination of a classic and contemporary paranormal novel series by award-winning novelists Tim Lebbon and Christopher Golden. The first novel in the series was the 2011 published “The Wild”, a novel that went on to become a fan favorite as it reintroduced the Jack London character to audiences in a unique perspective never before attempted. With the first novel in the series garnering much critical acclaim and fans clamoring for more, the two novelists published two more titles in the series to make it a trilogy in 2013. With both authors asserting that they read Jack London’s “The Call of the Wild” in their childhood it is not surprising that they write a very accomplished even if fictional autobiography of the author in the Secret Journeys of Jack London series of novels. For Golden, who wrote a paper in high school entitled “Atavism in the Works of Jack London”, London’s works are a fascinating treatise on human nature even with all their suspense and tension. The series of novels came about when the two authors met at the Toronto World Horror Convention and agreed to do a novel called White Fangs after one of Jack London’s most popular titles. Golden suggested that the series needed to have Jack London in it, and hence was born the Secret Journey of Jack London series. Unlike several of the other series that the authors have collaborated on, the series are more of classic biographical rather than fantasy fiction.
