Jack the Ripper: Invention of a Monster

After Dark: Myths, Misdeeds & the Paranormal

Available for over a year

Jack the Ripper as we think of him, is an invention of the Victorian media. They took the complete absence of hard facts about the killer, and populated it with the period's anxieties, fantasies and fears. We're joined again by Dr Bob Nicholson, presenter of ‘Killing Victoria’ podcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Sounds. Edited by Tim Arstall. Produced by Freddy Chick. Senior Producer is Charlotte Long.
