Merrily Gone Hunting, part 4

Part 4/4 of Merrily Gone Hunting (dedicated to Jack the Ripper), Feb-Mar '12. Inspired by various "Ripper letters," which were probably all fakes. Actual bodily fluids were used.

From p. 13 of Mass Culture Vol. 4.

A collage I assembled to accompany a short story. The line drawing is by Dennis Nilsen, reproduced from Brian Masters' Killing for Company. Used without permission: though considering Nilsen's continued struggles to publish his memoirs, he might well be quite pleased to see something of his newly in print.

Illustration for "Grey-Scaled Icthyoid"

This accompanied a piece about Albert Fish that was written on various substances over a couple of months. The little lass in the bottom right corner is, of course, Grace Budd.
