In the century since, the unknown killer has been thought, at various times, to be a doctor, a butcher, a madman, or even a member of the Royal Family. But still, despite all the speculation, he is only known by his grisly nickname : Jack the Ripper. A collection of short stories featuring : Robert Bloch, Charles L. Grant, Harlan Ellison, Stephen Gallagher and Gene Wolfe. 19 tales of Jack, Springheeled Jack, Saucy Jack and his natural children in the past, present and future. 384pp. trade size soft cover.
