628. Jack The Ripper: The Killer Unmasked (Part 5)
Books Mentioned

“Philip Sugden's book, The Complete History of Jack the Ripper, is really the definitive survey of the case.”

“Lewis Carroll, author of Alice in Wonderland and so on, who supposedly, you know, he loved kind of tricksy rhyme and a kind of anagram and things like that.”
“This ends up being turned into perhaps the single most notorious book ever written about Jack the Ripper, by journalist Stephen Knight.”

“It inspired From Hell, the Alan Moore animated novel, which in turn inspired the Johnny Depp film.”
“Sickert painted a picture called Jack the Ripper's Bedroom in 1906, it was his bedroom of his own lodging house.”

“Robert House did loads of research on Kosminski's background and has turned up lots of stuff that actually supersedes the description in Philip Sugden's book.”

“A book by Darwin is mentioned in the context of items given to Ostrog by a schoolteacher.”
