Jack the Ripper's Streets of Terror

Jack the Ripper's Streets of Terror is a new take on the story of Jack the Ripper, focusing on the people who lived through the Ripper's reign of terror; it shows what happened when familiar London streets suddenly became the hunting grounds of a monster. The shocking murders carried out by an unknown serial killer in London's East End during the autumn of 1888 dominated the news at the time and have continued to exert a baleful influence ever since. But what was it like to live through those terrifying weeks? No matter what precautions the locals took, the killings continued. This book looks at the crimes of Jack the Ripper through the eyes of the Londoners who had to survive his career of brutal savagery. It follows the way the crimes affected the local population, the rumours that swept the streets, the alarms, the riots, the persecutions, the suspicions and the sheer naked terror of the awful autumn when The Ripper stalked London's East End.
