A Queer Story of Crossed Phone Lines, Overheard Plots, Death and Deception Among The Rich of 1980's New York

The Heretofore Unknown Phantasmagorical Experience of Ebenezer Scrooge's Valued Friend and Deceased Partner, Jacob Marley, Esq. What if Jacob Marley was a gay man? Picking up where Dickens left off Jacob Marley is a story of redemption, tolerance, and acceptance told in the same style as the original. What if the reason Marley returned to save Scrooge from his fate was because he was in love with the man? Jacob Marley begins with that premise and then takes him on a magical journey of his own to examine the lives gay men lived in Victorian England. The same three ghosts that visited Scrooge lead Jacob through a review of his own life and his unrequited love for his valued friend Ebenezer Scrooge. Using Victorian source materials the author has paraphrased actual letters from the period so speech patterns in the writing capture the feel of Dickens in the 19th Century. 10 B&W illustrations are included and were taken from an 1885 edition of Dickens works and manipulated to create new drawings to suit the story being told in Jacob Marley. Come with Jacob Marley as he finds his way to free himself from the shackles that had held his tortured spirit.

JB, along with his best friend Len Matthews, are present at the death of Teddy from a heart attack one 1987 Febuary morning on the streets of New York. But JB smells the lingering odor of amyl nitrites or poppers in the air surrounding his body. Why would a man with a known heart condition be sniffing poppers?

His investigation leads him to finding out dark truths about Teddy and the people who surrounded him. Come along with JB and Len as they find out if the death was natural, suicide by sex, or if someone killed the famous man in Dance: Ten Murder: Maybe?
