Ultimate Compendium of Jack the Ripper: Fact, Fiction, Legend.

by Otto Penzler Author

This book goes into Jack the Ripper’s reign of terror in London’s East End during autumn 1888. His brutal crimes, grisly trophies, and cannibalism have left an indelible mark on history. Though others have murdered more, none have forged such a lasting legend.

The Ripper’s crimes have appalled and fascinated for over a century and a quarter, inspiring numerous theories and works of fiction. This collection combines contemporary reports, expert analysis, and crime and horror fiction inspired by his depraved deeds, featuring contributions from renowned authors like Jeffery Deaver, Anne Perry, George Bernard Shaw, Ellery Queen, Boris Akunin, Ramsey Campbell, Harlan Ellison, and Robert Bloch.
