1888: A killer stalks the streets of London's Whitechapel district,
brutally--some would say ritualistically--murdering women. With
each slaying, the killer grows bolder, his crimes more extreme. So
far, there have been five victims (that we know of): Mary Ann
Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddowes, and
Mary Jane Kelly. 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. Since then, hundreds of
stories have been written about Bloody Jack, his victims, and his
legacy. Authors ranging from Marie Belloc Lowndes to Robert Bloch;
from Harlan Ellison to Maureen Johnson; from Roger Zelazny to Alan
Moore have added their own tales to the Ripper myth. Now, as we
arrive at the quasquicentennial of the murders, we bring you a few
tales more. From the editor who brought you The Book of Cthulhu
comes Tales of Jack the Ripper, featuring new fiction by many of
today's darkest dreamers, including Laird Barron, Walter
Greatshell, Silvia Moreno-Garcia, Ed Kurtz, Joseph S. Pulver Sr.,
Stanley C. Sargent, E. Catherine Tobler, and many more.
