The mysterious case of Jack the Ripper, who killed five women in London’s Whitechapel in 1888, has sparked theories regarding a possible connection to Satanism. #jacktheripper #devilworship https://connectparanormal.net/2024/09/30/jack-the-ripper-the-devil-worship-connection/

Did the press create Jack the Ripper or just the legend we still picture today? Modern retellings may have shaped the myth just as much as the sensational headlines.

Conversation with @Taskerland took me to the Wikipedia page for #RobertBloch where I learned that Bloch had written several stories about #JackTheRipper

The first of these, "Yours truly, Jack the Ripper" cast the Ripper as an eternal being who must make human sacrifices to extend his immortality. This idea resurfaced in Bloch's contribution to the #StarTrek #TOS episode "Wolf in the Fold".

I was familiar with Bloch's #CthulhuMythos work but this I did not know.

*Adds to reading list*

My interest in the #mythology of #JackTheRipper began when I was an undergraduate in London in the 1990s. The student haunt of Brick Lane was popular for its legendary curry houses. A few steps away, on the corner of Fournier Street and Commercial Street, in the shadow of the strange, looming, obelisk-shaped steeple of Christ Church Spitalfields, stood the Ten Bells Public House.

“The killer is never assumed to be a local East Ender… He’s always judged to be a man out of place, flipping between high society by day & the dark & dirty streets of Whitechapel by night”

#Phantastikprompts 18.6. Arbeitest du reale Vorfälle in deine Geschichten ein?
Ja, teilweise. Am stärksten war das in meinem Roman „Berlingtons Geisterjäger 2 – Mördernächte“.
Darin geht es um die bis heute ungelösten Mordfälle des Jack the Rippers, die ich damals rauf und runter recherchiert habe. Da gibt es Unmengen an Material, z.B. hier: https://www.casebook.org/intro.html
Ich habe dann eine eigene (Phantastik-)Theorie über den Mörder entwickelt und im Roman eingearbeitet.

I have been playing with #fonts for the front cover of Return of the Ripper, and I have found two that I really like.

The title text is set in GrandjeanPW. This one is inspired by the types of Philippe #Grandjean de Fouchy (1666–1714), a #French punchcutter and #type engraver.

The strapline is set in Dear Boss, a #typeface mimicing the handwriting in the "Dear Boss" letter received by #ScotlandYard in September 1888 and allegedly written by #JacktheRipper.
