Jack the Ripper in fiction
Jack the Ripper, the notorious serial killer who terrorized Whitechapel in 1888, features in works of fiction ranging from gothic novels published at the time of the murders to recent motion pictures, televised dramas and video games.
Important influences on the depiction of the Ripper include Marie Belloc Lowndes' 1913 novel ''The Lodger'', which has been adapted for the stage and film, and Stephen Knight's 1976 work ''Jack the Ripper: The Final Solution'', which expanded on a conspiracy theory involving freemasons, royalty and the medical profession that features in many subsequent dramatisations. The literature of the late Victorian era, including Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes stories and Robert Louis Stevenson's ''Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde'', has provided rich inspiration for story-makers who have fused these fictional worlds with the Ripper. The Ripper makes appearances throughout the science fiction and horror genres and is internationally recognised as an evil character. The association of the Ripper with death and sex is particularly appealing to heavy metal and rock musicians, who have incorporated the Ripper murders into their work.
==Literature==

Works of fiction inspired by the Whitechapel murders arose immediately after the atrocities were committed. The short gothic novel ''The Curse Upon Mitre Square'' by John Francis Brewer, which features the murder of Catherine Eddowes in Mitre Square as a key plot element, was published in October 1888.〔Woods and Baddeley, pp. 61–62〕 Among works by other authors, ''In Darkest London'' by Margaret Harkness, who used the pseudonym John Law, was published in 1889. Harkness depicts the Ripper as a non-Jewish slaughterman who hides among the Jews in the East End of London.〔Meikle, p. 40〕
Ripper stories appealed to an international audience.〔 A "reputedly unsavoury" anthology of short stories in Swedish, ''Uppskäraren'' ("The Ripper") by Adolf Paul, was published in 1892, but it was suppressed by Russian authorities.〔Woods and Baddeley, p. 67〕
The character of Sherlock Holmes has been used often in Jack the Ripper fiction. In 1907 ''Aus den Geheimakten des Welt-Detektivs'' No. 18 from German publisher Verlagshaus für Volksliteratur und Kunst featured "Wie Jack, der Aufschlitzer, gefasst wurde" (How Jack the Ripper Was Taken), in which Holmes captures the Ripper.〔http://www.sherlockiana.dk/hjemmesider/Om%20museet/hefteserier/Om%20hefteserier/hefteserier.htm〕 In the 1930s the story was translated into Spanish in for ''Sherlock Holmes Memorias intimas del rey de los detectives'' No. 3, "El Destripador" (The Ripper), recently reprinted in a new book and translated into English for the first time.〔Sherlock Holmes Versus Jack the Ripper by Joseph A. Lovece, Createspace, 2014〕 Cullen called the story "amusing Sherlock Holmes pastiche".〔 Holmes was also used later in Michael Dibdin's ''The Last Sherlock Holmes Story'' (1978), Ellery Queen's ''A Study in Terror'' (1966), John Sladek's ''Black Aura'' (1974), and Barrie Roberts' ''Sherlock Holmes and the Royal Flush'' (1998) amongst others.〔Whitehead and Rivett, p. 135〕
The first influential short story, "The Lodger" by Marie Belloc Lowndes, was published in ''McClure's Magazine'' in 1911 and novelised in 1913.〔 It features a London couple, Mr and Mrs Bunting, who suspect that their lodger, Mr Sleuth, is a mysterious killer known as "The Avenger", clearly based on the Ripper.〔Meikle, pp. 44–48〕 Whether Sleuth really is "The Avenger" is left open: the focus of the story is on the Buntings' psychological terror, which may be entirely unfounded, rather than the actions of "The Avenger".〔 In 1927, "The Lodger" was the subject of an Alfred Hitchcock-directed film: ''The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog'', and four other adaptations were filmed in later years.
In 1926, Leonard Matters proposed in a magazine article that the Ripper was an eminent doctor, whose son had died from syphilis caught from a prostitute. According to Matters, the doctor, given the pseudonym "Dr Stanley", committed the murders in revenge and then fled to Argentina. He expanded his ideas into a book, ''The Mystery of Jack the Ripper'', in 1929. The book was marketed as a serious study, but it contains obvious factual errors and the documents it supposedly uses as references have never been found.〔Woods and Baddeley, pp. 114–115〕 It inspired other works such as the theatre play ''Murder Most Foul'' and the film ''Jack the Ripper''.〔Woods and Baddeley, pp. 160, 198〕 Jonathan Goodman's 1984 book ''Who He?'' is also written as if it is a factual study, but the suspect described, "Peter J Harpick", is an invention whose name is an anagram of Jack the Ripper.〔Whitehead and Rivett, pp. 12–13〕
Robert Bloch's short story "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper" (published in ''Weird Tales'' in 1943〔) cast the Ripper as an eternal who must make human sacrifices to extend his immortality.〔Meikle, p. 110〕 It was adapted for both radio (in ''Stay Tuned for Terror'') and television (as an episode of ''Thriller'' in 1961 written by Barré Lyndon).〔Woods and Baddeley, p. 68〕 The science-fiction anthology ''Dangerous Visions'' (1967) featured an unrelated Ripper story by Bloch, "A Toy for Juliette", and a sequel by Harlan Ellison, "The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World", written with Bloch's permission. Bloch's work also includes ''The Will to Kill'' (1954) and ''Night of the Ripper'' (1984).〔Whitehead and Rivett, pp. 133, 135–136〕
