The Return of Jack the Ripper, by Mark Andrews
This one paints Joe Barnett as a medical student, and the Ripper, so you can guess just how bad it really is. The text concerns a play written in the modern day 1970s which calls up the spirit of Jack the Ripper to kill hookers in the streets of New York while the play is in production. The fact that the new Ripper victims share the same names and are killed on the same dates as the real Ripper victims should tell you just how awful this slim volume really is. The attention to real detail is seldom, and the facts are few-- Which describes the book as a whole; dull, inacurate, and only for the collections of completists who'll never read the bloody thing anyway.
Avoid this book unless you're really nuts about owning every book with "Jack the Ripper" in the title.

Hi! I'm an italian student and I would like to make a work about Jack the Ripper concerning my studies. I need to know which authors have wrote about this serial killer, a sort of literarian journey that help me to analyze this characther not under a psycological profile, but literarian one. Thanks anticipated. Beatrice79 |
