Opera Ghost

Saw a book called the "Ripper Casebook" in a window display over at Halloweentown, but forgot to look for it inside the store. Does anyone know anything about this book?

In the middle of "20th Century Ghosts" - a collection of short stories by Joe Hill, Stephen King's son. This is an impressive collection and Joe might be a better writer than his infamous dad. The apple didn't fall far from the tree... and it's golden. Cloning perhaps?

Don't know why . . . 
Something at The Skull & Pumpkin made me pick up this book.
Haven't read it in 20 years.
Its better than I remembered.



Thanx,  Mike.  I really needed it.

I just received Vol1 and Vol 2 which reprints in a soft cover 180 page comic book reprints which starts at Detective 27 and works thru, Great great stuff and easily affordable for any budget. Don't think you can swing even this?... eat PBJ and MacnCheese a few days and the $ is there. Also picked up Superman Vol.1 which starts with the first appearance in Action Comics. Any fan of vintage comics NEEDS to own this and there are a total of like 25 volumes including other super heroes.. I did the free shipping which said 5-9 days.  Grin 4 days later they are now in my library shipped for FREE.  Grin $37 for 550+ pages IN COLOR on comic book paper of Classic stuff. Happy Happy Happy.
