Jack the Ripper's Secret Confession by David Monaghan,Nigel Cawthorne Pdf

With several million copies sold in the last fifty years, My Secret Life, first published by Grove Press in the 1960s, is one of the most famous pornographic works in literary history. What readers of this long-banned and troubling book of violent sexual fantasies failed to realize is that it is also the confession of history’s most fiendish killer. Written during the era of Jack the Ripper, it’s narrated by “Walter,” the pseudonym of textile millionaire Henry Spencer Ashbee. Walter was a voyeur and rapist obsessed with prostitutes, and his writing revealed his darkest sexual secrets. He died in 1901, long before his book would be widely read. Only now have researchers finally come to the conclusion that “Walter” and Jack the Ripper were, in fact, one and the same. Jack the Ripper’s Secret Confession puts all the pieces together, and its new theory will amaze and titillate scholars who for generations have pondered the true identity of history’s most brutal murderer.

Secret History by Nick Redfern Pdf

History is written by the winners—and the powerful—but how much of it is fiction? And who is really in control today? From the dawn of civilization to the 21st century, from ancient aliens to the New World Order, Secret History: Conspiracies from Ancient Aliens to the New World Order examines, explores, and uncovers the hidden, overlooked, and buried history of mankind. The book moves from biblical, Egyptian, Mayan, Greek, and early mysteries of antiquity to the clandestine doings of the Nazis and the Masons and assassination plots of the more recent past to the surveillance, monitoring, mind-control, and secret schemes of today. Researcher Nick Redfern investigates the stories, mythologies, lore behind incredible events and clandestine groups of yesterday and today. More than 60 entries dig deep into the manipulation of events by influential groups, including … • Historical riddles—alien visitations, space gods, and human–alien crossbreeding. • Government cover ups—mind control, murders, scientists, and secret agents. • Powerful groups and intended consequences—9-11, new world order, bird-flu, and chemtrails. Tracing the chilling and lasting effects of conspiracies, cabals, and plots, Secret History: Conspiracies from Ancient Aliens to the New World Order exposes their deep reach in shaping today's world.

The Ripper's Victims in Print by Rebecca Frost Pdf

Mary Ann Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Katherine Eddowes and Mary Jane Kelly--the five known victims of Jack the Ripper--are among the most written-about women in history. Hundreds of books on the Ripper murders describe their deaths in detail. Yet they themselves remain as mysterious as their murderer. This first ever study of the victims surveys the Ripper literature to reveal what is known about their lives, how society viewed them at the time of their deaths, and how attitudes and perceptions of them have (or have not) changed since the Victorian era.

The True Identity of Jack the Ripper by Hunter Pybus Pdf

Ever wondered why the Whitechapel serial killer "Jack the Ripper" was never caught when he clearly should have been? The answer's a simple one. He was never meant to be caught. Revealing Jack's identity would have been the spark that might have led to revolution in a country where Victoria was described as the famine Queen and her family's expenditure thought a national disgrace in a time of real austerity.A thoroughbred Englishman, "Jack" was schooled at Eton. He was further educated at Cambridge. He was the son of a High Court judge who presided in two famous cases of the time connected to the Ripper case- those of murderer Israel Lipski and supposed husband poisoner Florence Maybrick, wife of the number one Ripper suspect. More importantly, James Kenneth Stephen, aka "Jack the Ripper", had a homosexual affair with a Prince of the Realm- second in line to the throne of Empire. He was a poet and writer, and in his own words, and in those of his cousin Virginia Woolf, we have the evidence of love, loss, anger, misogyny and murderous intent.Over the years at least three people who knew the secret identity of Jack the Ripper have died of unnatural causes. This book has been launched to ensure there are no more deaths carried out by so -called "Defenders of the Realm." The deaths included a researcher of freemasonry, a Prince of Empire and a fall guy that was the prime police suspect at the time. There may have been more.The age of the internet has given new clues over the past 25 years which finally unmask the Victorian London serial killer and a concerted conspiracy of silence including: -The means motives and opportunities "Jack" had to dispose of seven "unfortunates" on the street of Whitechapel.His confessionary writings.-Proof in auctioned letters that the second in line to the throne had venereal disease.-Written testimony by his contemporaries naming the Ripper's true identity outright.-Incriminating letters between the killer's brother and his tutor. A police description of an encounter with the murderer which was buried in the files.-A match between the suspect and recent FBI profiling on all character points.-The killer's hoax diary disguised to be that of James Maybrick, another prime suspect.A missing 1888 diary by the killer's uncle and a "manufactured" one by his mother. This trail leads all the way to the top of the tree- the British Royal family and points the finger at a mentally disturbed individual who, whilst being treated for manic depression, also suffered a major head trauma which turned him from a Dr. Jekyll to a Mr Hyde in 1888. Son of a High Court judge, educated at Eton and Cambridge, James Kenneth Stephen seems the most unlikely suspect for the Ripper, until you dig deep into his history and discover his written confessions in the shape of poetry and threat.The author of this work has given talks on Jack the Ripper for over twenty years as a cruise ship presenter and has extensively researched the subject. When one cruiser asked the question "why the greatest detective of all times at the height of his deductive powers was not set on to catch that bloke" David explained that whilst one was very real the other was a work of fiction. That said, David followed the trail to the killer, and in the words of Sherlock Holmes:"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

The Autobiography of Jack the Ripper by James Carnac Pdf

"It's either a genuine confession by Jack the Ripper, or it's an extraordinary novel...Only you can decide."—Paul Begg, author of Jack the Ripper: The Definitive History In the Whitechapel neighborhood of London in 1888, five women were horribly mutilated and murdered by the infamous killer, Jack the Ripper. Though there were many suspects, the monster was never caught. This recently discovered memoir from the 1920s introduces a new suspect: James Willoughby Carnac, a little-known figure who claims to have been the Ripper. Carnac describes the events and geography of Whitechapel in 1888 with chilling accuracy, including details of the murders that appear to have been unavailable to the public at the time. He presents a credible motive for becoming Jack, and, for the first time ever, a reason for ending the killing spree. Ultimately, you, the reader, must decide if this is simply one of the earliest imaginings of the case—and a groundbreaking literary addition to the Ripper canon—or if it is the genuine autobiography of Jack the Ripper himself. "A text that will no doubt be debated for years to come."—Alan Hicken, Montacute Museum, Somerset, England "Intricate and creepy."—The Daily Express (UK) "Easily read and worth it for the ending."—Kirkus

A Brief Guide To Agatha Christie by Nigel Cawthorne Pdf

Agatha Christie?s 80 novels and short-story collections have sold over 2 billion copies in more than 45 languages, more than any other author. When Christie finally killed off her Belgian detective, Hercule Poirot, the year before she herself died, that `detestable, bombastic, tiresome, ego-centric little creep? in Christie?s words, received a full-page obituary in the New York Times, the only fictional character ever to have done so. From her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, a Poirot mystery, to her last, Sleeping Murder, featuring Miss Marple, Crawford explores Christie?s life and fiction. Cawthorne examines recurring characters, such as Captain Arthur Hastings, Poirot?s Dr Watson; Chief Inspector Japp, his Lestrade, as well as other flat-footed policemen that Poirot outsmarts on his travels; his efficient secretary, Miss Felicity Lemon; another employee, George; and Ariadne Oliver, a humorous caricature of Christie herself. He looks at the writer?s own fascinating: her work as a nurse during the First World War; her strange disappearance after her first husband asked for a divorce; and her exotic expeditions with her second husband, the archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan. He examines the author?s working life ? her inspirations, methods and oeuvre ? and provides biographies of her key characters, their attire, habits and methods, including Poirot?s relationships with women, particularly Countess Vera Rossakoff and Miss Amy Carnaby. In doing so, he sheds light on the genteel world of the country house and the Grand Tour between the wars. He takes a look at the numerous adaptations of Christie?s stories for stage and screen, especially Poirot?s new life in the eponymous long-running and very successful TV series.

Is there anything new to be read about Jack the Ripper, whose identity has been sought by countless "Ripperologists" for more than 120 years? This book answers an emphatic "Yes!"

Here, the identity of Sir Melville's informer is revealed, explaining why the Ripper was disguised as an insane surgeon for public consumption. A number of photos are included, some never before seen.

Jack the Ripper by Gavin Baddeley Pdf

Five brutal murders shocked London in the summer and autumn of 1888. They have never been forgotten. The Jack the Ripper case has never been solved - the killer remains a blood-spattered silhouette. Although ‘Jack’ as an entity was almost certainly invented by an unscrupulous journalist, he became an archetype - decked in the top hat and cloak of a Victorian melodrama villain, stalking the fog-wreathed streets of the old East End. The numerous Ripper theories which emerged at the time tell us more about Victorian attitudes than they do about the killer’s true identity. In Jack the Ripper the authors follow the grim homicidal trails that have permeated popular culture since the Whitechapel murders of 1888. It tells the victim’s stories in all their desperate poignancy, and explores the theories and suspects of the burgeoning field of ‘ripperology’. Conspiracy theories and myths that swirl around the case to this day, from black magicians to the royal family, are considered, as is the modern forensic view of the Ripper murders as sex crimes, with reference to disturbing modern cases such as that of the ‘Plumstead Ripper’. Terrifying and unignorable, this is the ultimate book on Jack the Ripper.
