📖 Description
There is something powerful about being able to read and stand side by side with the ghosts of those Victorians who read these newspaper reports firsthand. Illustrated with rare period photos and line drawings. From the first murder, that of Martha Tabram to the last, where poor Mary Kelly was left in pieces in a small room the reports cover the shock of the readers, the rage against the police, the desperate search for the identities of the victims and the killer. The coverage ends with several reports claiming the capture or detection of Jack the Ripper. These news reports read like a detective crime thriller, yet they are real, read by those so shocked and involved by the terrible crimes of the world's most notorious serial killer. One lady, upon reading the latest horror, fainted dead on the spot. Do you dare read those very same news reports?
