Narrated in London's inimitable style, Moon-Face and Other Stories offers a collection of deeply insightful stories.
The title story is a short story by Jack London, on the subject of extreme antipathy. The unnamed protagonist of the story has an irrational hatred of John Claverhouse, the moon-face man. He hates really everything about him: his face, his laugh, his entire life, and when he finds out that Claverhouse engages in illegal fishing with dynamite, he works out a scheme to kill him while making it look like an accident...
The Leopard Man's Story is a short mystery story about the ingenious murder of King Wallace, a fearless lion-tamer as told by the Leopard Man, a saddened leopard trainer who bears visible scars on his arms and whose personality diametrically opposes his daring profession.
Other stories included are: Local Color, Amateur Night, The Minions of Midas, The Shadow and the Flash, All Gold Canyon, and Planchette.
