A Night in the Lonesome October

He was the most notorious serial killer of all time, and he was never caught. It's only recently that they think that they know who did it, and I say how can you possibly know after over a century? His exploits have been depicted in various murder mysteries and even an episode of the Original Star Trek. I'm talking of course about Jack the Ripper, the terror of Whitechapel in the latter part of the 19th century, and in A Night in the Lonesome October, you want Jack to win.
That's right, this legendary killer is the protagonist of our story, or rather his dog is. The book takes place entirely in the month of October where a group of strange individuals have come together to play the Great Game. The final skirmish takes place on All Hallows Eve when the door that separates our world from a world of ancient gods shall be opened. There are two factions in this "game", those who want to open the door to the gods and the other who want the door to remain closed. Jack is in the latter category. So basically if Jack is caught, the world shall end as we know it. Along with Jack the Ripper, a score of other familiar characters flit through the page of this book. We have Dracula, Frankenstein and his monster, Sherlock Holmes and Watson, a witch, and a wolfman. The added fun of having the book told entirely through the perspective of Jack's dog just adds to the delight. A fun Halloween tale for any reader!
