Artful
“The Dickens characters remain mostly true to their roots in Oliver Twist; however, they gain added dimension and depth in this fun romp…Artful is witty and action packed once it gets moving, with enough twists and turns to tie you into a fun knot as you wind your way through London’s underbelly to save the day along with the Artful Dodger.
Oliver Twist is one of the most well-known stories ever told, about a young orphan who has to survive the mean streets of London before ultimately being rescued by a kindly benefactor.
But it is his friend, the Artful Dodger, who has the far more intriguing tale, filled with more adventure and excitement than anything boring Oliver could possibly get up to. Throw in some vampires and a plot to overthrow the British monarchy, and what you have is the thrilling account that Charles Dickens was too scared to share with the world.
From the brilliant mind of novelist and comic book veteran Peter David, Artful is the dark, funny, and action-packed story of one of the most fascinating characters in literary history.
With vampires.
