Audiobook: The Autobiography Of Jack The Ripper
JAMES Carnac, author of The Autobiography Of Jack The Ripper, claims to be the Ripper.
The publishers say that Alan Hicken of the Montacute TV, Radio and Toy Museum found the manuscript in 2007 among the memorabilia of SG Hulme Beaman, creator of TV’s Larry The Lamb.
Ripperologists say that it’s remarkably accurate but whether it is “a genuine confession by Jack or it’s an extraordinary novel… only you can decide”.
Whatever it is, it’s intricate and creepy, though not full of blood and guts.
Hulme Beaman says that he “removed and destroyed certain portions of the manuscript which contained details particularly revolting to me”.
