I’m super excited to announce that THE BIG BOOK OF JACK THE RIPPER, edited by Otto Penzler, is out today. It includes my Anthony Award-nominated story, “Don’t Fear the Ripper.”

“Don’t Fear the Ripper” is about a Whitechapel midwife named Caroline Farmer who takes it upon herself to end Jack the Ripper’s infamous killing spree.

As a true-crime junkie, I’ve long been fascinated by the story of Jack the Ripper. THE BIG BOOK OF JACK THE RIPPER is a definitive collection; it includes non-fiction and fiction, leaving no aspect of the Ripper story untold. Other contributors include Anne Perry, Lyndsay Faye, Jeffery Deaver and Harlan Ellison.

I’m exceedingly proud to be a part of this collection and I’d like to thank Mr. Penzler for including “Don’t Fear the Ripper” in the book.
