Synopsis

The author of Psycho takes on the famous unsolved slayings of Jack the Ripper!

Robert Bloch gave us fiction's most famous knife-wielding maniac in Psycho's Norman Bates, and in The Night of the Ripper (1984), this master of horror fiction offers his own unique take on history's most infamous unsolved murder case.

Whitechapel, 1888. A madman stalks the foggy streets, murdering prostitutes in acts of unimaginable horror and brutality. Two men - Frederick Abberline of the Metropolitan Police and Mark Robinson, a young American doctor - are determined to find the killer, but the list of suspects is a long one. With the help of a supporting cast of characters that includes Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the Elephant Man, the two sleuths must solve the puzzle before it's too late and the Ripper strikes again!

"Might be Bloch's best book yet . . . the sort of book that just grabs you and makes you read it." - Peter Straub

"May well nudge out Psycho as Bloch's most popular novel." - Washington Post

"A must for mystery and horror fans." - Fantasy Review
