Alias Napoleon

by John Jakes

About this book

Jack Morris runs a traveling waxworks attraction and is content with the familiar routines of carnival life. A strange light in the sky and an unsettling change inside his exhibition force him to consider possibilities far beyond his usual concerns.

The historical figures arranged for public entertainment become part of a frightening discovery about observation, disguise and an unfamiliar intelligence. This complete John Jakes story is preserved in the edition from Tales of the Frightened, Spring 1957, with Rudy Nappi’s illustration and the matching magazine cover.
