Modern Dispatch (#59): The Redjacks

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Dear Boss,
I keep on hearing the police have caught me but they wont fix me just yet. I have laughed when they look so clever and talk about being on the right track. That joke about Leather Apron gave me real fits. I am down on whores and I shant quit ripping them till I do get buckled. Grand work the last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. How can they catch me now. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear of me with my funny little games. I saved some of the proper red stuff in a ginger beer bottle over the last job to write with but it went thick like glue and I cant use it. Red ink is fit enough I hope ha. ha. The next job I do I shall clip the ladys ears off and send to the police officers just for jolly wouldn't you. Keep this letter back till I do a bit more work, then give it out straight. My knife's so nice and sharp I want to get to work right away if I get a chance. Good Luck.
Yours truly
Jack the Ripper
Dont mind me giving the trade name
PS Wasnt good enough to post this before I got all the red ink off my hands curse it No luck yet. They say I'm a doctor now. ha ha

With this letter a dark legend was born. Jack the Ripper was probably not the first serial killer but he was the first to become a media sensation and possibly (if the letters he sent were genuine) the first to seek the attention of the newly powerful media for himself. Whether the letters were genuine or not, their affect on the public was profound. The populace's fear was heightened and the police, especially the newly formed Scotland Yard were made to look like fools, taunted by a killer just out of reach. The sensation created by the ?Dear Boss? letter is one that has been imitated by later serial killers to the point that sending taunting letters to the media and police has become one of the signatures of the true serial killer.

This short Blood and Relics sourcebook presents the Redjacks, a cult that worships ?Saucy Jack?, a creature of pure hate. They kill at his behest, killing women, disemboweling or beheading them and performing the rituals of sacrifice on the streets themselves.

Your job? Stop the Redjacks if at all possible. Keep the Ripper out of our world.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
