In the autumn of 1888, a series of grisly murders took place in Whitechapel in London’s East End, the Abyss, the Ghetto, the City of Eternal Night. The Whitechapel murderer, arguably the first of his kind, was never caught but the killings gave rise to the best known pen-name in criminal history – Jack the Ripper.The Whitechapel killer was terrifyingly real but Jack was the creation of Fleet Street, the gallows humor of a newspaper hack whose sole aim in life was to sell newspapers. And where the ‘Dear Boss’ letter, with its ‘trade name’ signature led, thousands followed.This book is not about the world’s first serial killer but about the sick, the perverted, the twisted souls who put pen to paper purporting to be the killer or suggested ever more lurid ways in which he could be caught. Innocent men were put in the frame by Victorian troublemakers who would be perfectly at home with today’s internet trolls, pointing cruel fingers in almost perfect anonymity.The book takes the lid off Victorian mindsets, exposing a dark and unnatural place as topsy-turvy as that inhabited by the killer himself.

Hardcover. Zustand: New. Morbid curiosity about Jack the Ripper is not a recent phenomenon, but was already evident as the murders were committed. Rather than focusing on the killer himself, this is an investigation, using handwriting analysis and forensic evidence, into the person or persons who wrote to the press claiming to be him, and the journalists who encouraged them.

Hardcover / Hardback. Zustand: As New. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: As New. First edition. Hardback. This true crime history examines the media frenzy surrounding Jack the Rippe, and what the so-called Ripper Letters reveal about Victorian society. In the autumn of 1888, a series of grisly murders took place in Whitechapel in London's East End. The Whitechapel murderer, arguably the first of his kind, was never caught, though the police and local press received hundreds of letters claiming to be from the killer. Though most if not all of these letters were hoaxes, they gave rise to the best known pen-name in criminal history: Jack the Ripper. Some letters were taken more seriously than others, while a few, such as the infamous "Dear Boss" letter, sent thousands on a hunt to follow its clues. This book is not about the world's first serial killer but about the twisted souls who played the part on paper, implicated innocent men, or suggested ever more lurid ways in which he could be caught. For the author, these letters offer a window into the disturbing shadows of the Victorian mind. Illus. + Bibliog. and Index. 185pp. 8vo. h/back. As New in dw. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 19892
