Dr. Watson teams up with
Dr. John Seward to investigate a rash of madness in London. It is stated that
Jack the Ripper’s murders happened a decade ago, which would suggest that this
novel takes place in 1898. However, the events of Dracula are described
as having taken place “many months” ago, whereas in the CU it took place in
1887. Additionally, the portrayals of the Ripper, Elizabeth Bathory, and Irene
Adler conflict with CU continuity, placing this book in an alternate universe. Also included in this book is the story "Attack of the Electric Shark," in which British Secret Service agent Quincey “Hound-Dog” Harker unearths the Nautilus
to use in battle against another submersible called the Electric Shark.
Quincey Harker’s portrayal here is irreconcilable with that in the Marvel
Comics series Tomb of Dracula. Additionally, it is stated that a
long-forgotten civilization (possibly Atlantis) created both the Nautilus and
the Electric Shark, which contradicts Twenty Thousand Leagues Under
the Sea and The Mysterious Island.
