JACK THE RIPPER'S BLACK MAGIC RITUALS

Hardback. 'For more than a century, the horrific fascinating mystery of Jack the Ripper has endured. The ghastly crimes of the world's most notorious serial killer have gone down in history as the most nauseating acts one man could even inflict upon his fellow human beings; and since they were committed, contemporary sleuths have spent many lifetimes attempting to identify the man behind the myth. Bizarrely, nobody has yet revealed the identity of the true murderer to the satisfaction of Ripperologists everywhere. Until now....a devastating book. It takes the reader step-by-step through the precise events at the core of the Ripper's reign of terror, and uncovers a sickening, twisted melange of murder and black magic that will forever change the way these crimes are perceived. Most importantly, Ivor Edwards reveals finally, and beyond doubt, the true identity of Jack the Ripper. That man is Dr. Robert Donston Stephenson, an army surgeon, occultist and magician with an astonishingly high IQ, who may even have viciously murdered and dismembered his own wife before the killing spree in Whitechapel started. Ivor Edwards constructs a carefully argued and utterly convincing case that will leave the reader in no doubt that this man was indeed Jack the Ripper.' Illus., Appendices. 272pp. 8vo. h/back.
