The Complete Jack the Ripper:

The Perfect Addition to any Haunter's Collection

By Chris Kullstroem

Are you looking for a new theme for your Halloween display or haunt this year? Well look no further than your local bookstore. Pick up a copy of The Complete Jack the Ripper to help turn your home, yard or castle into the dark and dismal streets of Whitechapel, England in the late 19th century for the perfect Jack the Ripper display.

If you've thought about making a Ripper window display or yard scene, you’ll want specific details for making the scene as life-like as it can be. The Complete Jack the Ripper describes the horrible living situations of the time period, the characteristics of the Ripper’s victims (before and after), and the areas where he struck. The towns, streets, alleys, dress and characters found in this book will give you great insight about making the perfect Ripper scene, from props and costumes to sound effects and lighting.

The book is written by Donald Rumbelow, a real-life English police officer who bases his research on the evidence used to track this illusive serial killer who was never discovered or captured. Witness reports of Ripper sightings, photographs taken at crime scenes, clothing, weapons and other articles found at the scenes, and investigative techniques from the 1880’s all leave behind a mystery that some still try to solve. You’ll read letters from people giving information on possible Ripper suspects and letters that may have been written by Jack himself. Go over the evidence and draw conclusions on your own as to who Jack the Ripper really was, and incorporate your theory into your display.

Even if you're not working on a Haunt this Halloween and you're just looking for a good read, The Complete Jack the Ripper is a must for any library collection, providing the perfect atmosphere and storyline for the Halloween season. Pick up a copy today and learn what really went on during the times of one of the most notorious killers in history.
