The Complete And Essential Jack the Ripper
“A Question of Taste Because Jack the Ripper has been seized upon so enthusiastically by the public as an entertainment form of some magnitude, it is often forgotten that the story of the Whitechapel murders is a very real one. The women who were dramatically put to death by his knife had family, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters, and their descendants vary from knowing of their historic lineage to having no idea whatsoever. Some of those that do know have chosen to embrace that lineage, whe...reas others have kept it to themselves. The man himself may be buried in some unmarked grave, once mourned by family or friends, who perhaps had no idea of his true nature. His descendants may go about their daily lives in the twenty-first century, sharing his surname or DNA, yet blissfully unaware of the terrible family secret that in all probability will remain as such for ever.
The lack of a culpable perpetrator and the passage of time have seen to it that the reality of those fearful nights has become dulled, and we have become anaesthetized to the suffering and brutality which form the backbone of the Jack the Ripper mystery.MoreLess
