Jordan Mooney explore les profondeurs sales et souvent troublantes de l'Angleterre victorienne, animé par le désir de contrer les récits impériaux aseptisés de l'ère industrielle. Son travail se concentre sur la préservation d'une représentation plus authentique, bien qu'inquiétante, d'une société construite sur l'extrémisme capitaliste et l'amoralité.

Par son écriture, il plonge les lecteurs dans un monde à la fois captivant et édifiant, remettant en question les visions conventionnelles du progrès historique.
