So, y’all know how much I love retellings of fairy tales, right? If you also enjoy them, I have the series for you, though it’s not a classic retelling. Buckle up!

Kerri Maniscalco has resurrected some classic characters from literature and history and reimagined their stories. They are creepy, gruesome, and wickedly horrific. The first in the series is Stalking Jack the Ripper. The ending brings about a twist so big you might get whiplash. Just watch out for the reappearance of a past monster.

Audrey Rose Wadsworth is an aspiring forensic scientist in a time when women, especially the wealthy, are supposed to be domestic goddesses. She would rather be elbows deep in a corpse along with her uncle who works, occasionally, for Scotland Yard. Now women are being murdered in the style of the Ripper, who is supposedly caught.
