Still looking for your 125th Ripperversary fix?

For a substantial dose of history with plenty of suitably sensational links & pics, check out today's post from eldritchhobbit.

For a close focus on the Ripper's first canonical victim, Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols, check out this post this post from Word Horde editor lossrockhart.

{Full disclosure -- the latter post does end with a message about Tales of Jack the Ripper, & I do have two poems in this new anthology.)
