What is the worst Ripper book you've ever read?

[joelhall]

jack the ripper: a psychic invesigation.

hands down the biggest pile of s**t ever written on the whitechapel murders.

I just finished Prince Jack, and while it was clearly bollocks, it was quite readable, and if you didn't know any better could probably be halfway convincing... Wait, wait, no it couldn't. Murder & Madness was funnier, however

Is there any other murder case that has inspired so many silly works?

Not so much murder, although it does feature in the tale, but the are a lot of weird and wonderful books out there on the Kray's.

The crucifixion springs to mind. The Life of Brian is very silly (or did I miss the point? )

Brian was just a very naughty boy!

Well I'm alright because I'm the meekest person ever and I'm going to inherit the earth, so that's nice isn't it? I'm glad I'm getting something 'cause I have a hell of a time. This has nothing to do with this thread or has it?

Well apart from giving us something to read, what have they really done for us?

Nope. But I enjoyed it anyway.

The Last Victim, sort of a Ripper book. I am still trying to replace brain cells through nasal injections. It isn't working.

Mike, we can tell that is not working. Maybe some arsenic might do the trick.

He always looked on the bright side of life

Good thread and is saving me time, trouble, and cash.

On recommendations here I did get Tom Cullum's Autumn of Terror sent over from the UK in a jiffy and very reasonable price. Yes, it is very enjoyable.

Thanks again,

Uncle Jack, by Tony Williams, is, at present, my least favorite JtR book. I never thought I'd find a Ripper book boring, but when I was reading this one, I was tempted to go out and bury in the backyard. Since I paid almost four whole dollars on it, I made myself read it as penance for buying a book just because it was cheap.

On the other hand, Rumbelow's The Complete Jack the Ripper is one of my favorites. I lucked up and got one that he had autographed on one of his tours.


Jeff, I see you've struck again! "Always look on the broyt side of life..."
