with book after book being written about them,
the
sinking of the Titanic for instance, and here is another, but not a book, it is a magazine
called Ripperologist, and it is the foremost of several publications
dedicated to promotion and discussion of Ripperology, to put it in context,
more books have been written on Jack the Ripper than on all US Presidents
combined, and interest in Jack has never been higher, so what is a
Ripperologist? well he or she, or the one in the middle, (I must be PC here and
include them), is someone who is interested in (or obsessed with) the study
of Jack the Ripper and the Whitechapel Murders of 1888,
but the magazine also includes emphasis on Victoriana
of all sorts in general and the East End of London in particular, emphasis is
also given to other serial killers and infamous Victorian criminals, and here
is the good news, it is now free to download, first published in 1995, the
magazine is now released bi-monthly in PDF format and is free to receive, simply
complete the subscription form to receive future issues, but be warned once you
start to read make sure you have a few cups of coffee on hand and a few snacks,
it is compulsive reading! here is the link.
