The Mammoth Book of Jack the Ripper Stories, published by Little, Brown (Constable and Robinson imprint) has just been published in the UK.

The book features my story Sherlock Holmes and the Simple Procedure. 

The Amazon listings are below:

Here is the rather flattering blurb. Even though I'm not mentioned by name, there's a nod to my story at the end. 


"In this wonderful collection of brand-new stories, Jakubowski has compiled an extraordinary array of explorations into the identity of Jack the Ripper - this time unabashedly fictional, unrestrained by history and the known facts. 

Contributors include Carol Anne Davis, Martin Edwards, Peter Guttridge, Barbara Nadel;Alvaro Zinos-Amaro and Sally Spedding. 


'Jack the Ripper' has appeared in a number of novels, as the lead character in some, beginning with Marie Belloc Lowndes's The Lodger (1913), filmed by Hitchcock. Authors as diverse as Michael Dibdin, Lindsay Faye, Philip Jose Farmer, Robert Bloch, Harlan Ellison, Alan Moore, Fredric Brown, Ramsey Campbell and Colin Wilson have all used poetic licence to 'revive' the notorious killer. 

The varied stories in this fantastic new collection continue this tradition with many possible identities put forward, some already suggested by historians, others more speculative, including famous names from history and fiction. Even Sherlock Holmes is on the case!"
 


In the U.S. the book comes out in December, published by Running Press. 

Oh, and what a cover.

My 700-word short story Take Your Pick, originally titled Options, is being published in the summer issue of the Australian magazine Fast Fiction (summer in Australia, winter in Europe). 

​The story concerns an unscrupulous mother who uses her daughter's belief in the paranormal to rid herself of the girl. 

Featuring a cameo by my stock police detective DI Williamson, this is one of three stories Fast Fiction have picked up this quarter.
