β¦ Synopsis
1888: One hundred and twenty-five years ago, a killer stalked the streets of Londons Whitechapel district, brutallysome would say ritualisticallymurdering five women (that we know of): Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly.
The story of Jack the Ripper captured lurid headlines and the publics imagination, and the first fictionalization of the Ripper killings, John Francis Brewers The Curse Upon Mitre Square appeared in October of 1888, mere weeks after the discovery of Jacks first victim. Since then, hundreds of stories have been written about Bloody Jack, his victims, and his legacy. Authors ranging from Marie Belloc Lowndes to Robert Bloch to Harlan Ellison to Roger Zelazny to Alan Moore have added their own tales to the Ripper myth. Now, as we arrive at the quasquicentennial of the murders, we bring you a few tales more.

Lansdale, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Stanley C. Sargent, E. Catherine Tobler, and many more.
