Anita Eva said Superb Jack the Ripper Anthology. It's not always easy for authors to make such a well-worn, popular trope in a particular genre seem fresh or new, or interesting to readers who feel as though they know the story already and what other angles could there possibly be? The authors in this anthology, a healthy mix of veterans mingled with up-and-comers, as it turns out, all have creative re-inventions and for the most part manage to put their own spins on the facets of the Jack the Ripper stories and legends, which makes for some very interesting and good quality reading. Of course, those with a p. "Funny Little Games" I know what everyone knows about Jack the Ripper: Whitechapel serial murderer of the late 19th Century. Five victims, all prostitutes. Taunting missives to the authorities. Some odd, ritualistic elements to the crime scenes. Never caught, and so the bogeyman figure of Jack is shadowed in conspiracy and horror to this day. And that?

I've (partially) seen "From Hell", but it was around the time I was going off Alan Moore's work and I was nursing a compound hangover at the . Anthony R. Cardno said Rippers Past and Present. Is there anyone who reads genre fiction who isn't in some way interested in, if not obsessed with, Jack the Ripper?

Lockhart's volume contains only five reprinted stories; the remainder are new additions to the lore of Bloody Jack. Some are about Jack himself, some about his legacy. Some are stronger than others. But I suspect any Ripperologist (to steal the title of Orrin Grey's sto
"Tales of Jack the Ripper manages to walk that fine line between entertainment and exploitation with real finesse. This doesn't mean you can pigeonhole Tales of Jack the Ripper. You need to get up off your lazy duff and buy this collection."-Shock Totem"there are enough original and inventive approaches to this most bedeviling of true-crime mysteries to suggest that Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel Murders of 1888 will continue to inspire imaginative speculations for some time to come." -Stefan Dziemianowicz, Locus"Tales of Jack the Ripper marks a strong debut for Word Horde. It might even be expected from Lockhart, who also brought you The Book of Cthulhu and its follow-up, The Book of Cthulhu 2. Horror fans in general should be quite pleased."-Tangent "The bottom line is these are all e
The story of Jack the Ripper captured lurid headlines and the public's imagination, and the first fictionalization of the Ripper killings, John Francis Brewer's The Curse Upon Mitre Square appeared in October of 1888, mere weeks after the discovery of Jack's first victim. So far, there have been five victims (that we know of): Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and Mary Jane Kelly. With each slaying, the killer grows bolder, his crimes more extreme.
