IT IS EIGHTEEN EIGHTY-EIGHT, ANNO DOMINI
AND JACK THE RIPPER IS TERRORISING THE CITY OF LONDON
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DARKNESS HAS DESCENDED UPON THE REIGN OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN VICTORIA,
QUEEN OF ENGLAND, EMPRESS OF INDIA AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. DEEP WITHIN
THE DEPTHS OF THE EAST END, A MONSTER HAS STIRRED, AND THAT MONSTER IS
SLAUGHTERING ANY AND ALL WHO WANDER ACROSS ITS PATH. NO, DON'T LET ALL
THOSE TALES OF WEREWOLVES, GHOULS AND GOBLINS BLIND YOU--THIS BEING,
THIS MONSTER, IT'S REAL AND IT'S HUMAN. IT PREYS UPON WOMEN AND NOT EVEN
THE ESTEEMED POLICE FORCE OF LONDON CAN FIND THE MURDERER, AND PEOPLE
ARE CONCERNED AND SCARED. WOMEN DON'T TRAVEL ALONE ANYMORE, THE POLICE
ARE PATROLLING WHITECHAPEL WITH MORE DETERMINATION THAN EVER AND
ALL IN ALL FEELINGS AROUND THE POOREST PARTS OF LONDON ARE ONES OF FEAR.
HOWEVER, THERE IS ONE LIGHT IN ALL THIS DARKNESS: MAGIC. MAGICIANS ARE
SPRINGING UP ALL OVER LONDON, THOUGH MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN AROUND
FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. THEY'RE THE NEW CIRQUE DU FREAK; WANT MAGIC? GO
TO ANY THEATRE AND REST ASSURED THERE'LL BE A SHOW ON - OR MAYBE TWO
OR THREE - WITH A MAGICIAN AND HIS GORGEOUS ASSISTANT PRANCING ABOUT
ON STAGE TO IMPRESS THE CROWD WITH THEIR PHONY TRICKS AND BEAUTIFUL
COSTUMES. THOUGH TERROR REIGNS OUTSIDE THEIR THEATRES, THEY ARE THE
EPITOME OF CALM AND THEY CONJUR AND CAST ILLUSIONS TO MAKE THE WORLD
SEEM LIKE A BETTER PLACE. EVEN THEY, YOU MUST KNOW, CAN'T STOP THE RIPPER.
THERE'S ONLY ONE THING ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS HAVE IN COMMON--JACK, THE
POLICE AND THE CITY'S MAGICIANS COMBINED--COME CLOSER AND I MAY TELL YOU.
ARE YOU...
