The Big Book of Jack the Ripper (Vintage Crime/Black Lizard Original)

Edgar Awardâ€“winning editor Otto Penzler's latest anthology takes its inspiration from the historical enigma whose name has become synonymous with fear: Jack the Ripper.
Â
Of the real-life serial killers whose gruesome acts have been splashed across headlines, none has reached the mythical status of Jack the Ripper. In the Ripper's wake, terror swept through the streets of Londonâ€™s East End in the fall of 1888. As quickly as his nightmarish reign came, Saucy Jack vanished without a traceâ€”leaving future generations to speculate upon his identity and whereabouts. He was diabolical in a way never seen beforeâ€”a killer who taunted the police, came up with his own legendary monikers, and, ultimately, got away with his heinous crimes.

More than a century later, the man â€œfrom hellâ€ continues to live on in the imaginations of readers everywhereâ€”and in some of the most specÂtacularly unnerving stories, both fiction and nonfiction, ever written. The Big Book of Jack the Ripper immerses you in the utterly chilling world of Red Jackâ€™s London, where his unprecedented evil still lurks.
