About

London, 1888. A legendary serial killer stalks the fog shrouded streets of the East End. Five women fall victim to his blade and all of London, indeed, all the world, is paralyzed with fear… waiting for the next horror. Jack the Ripper carves his path through history… Now, 125 years after the “Autumn of Terror”, it is time for Jack to return!

Fiction Closed

Stories can be SF, Steampunk, Horror (no splatterpunk), Psychological or any other genre as long as it’s fresh and outre! We have one stipulation: KNOW THE CASE! Nothing is as infuriating as reading a story that gets the facts wrong unless that error is a vital part of the story. Jack would not appreciate it!
