Zoom Party 11-17-25: The Secret History of Jack the Ripper (Patreon)

For this month's Zoom Party, I thought we'd explore one of the most celebrated killers of all time: Jack the Ripper.

Obviously, this is an enormous subject and this presentation is in no way meant to be conclusive. Instead, I opted to focus on some of the lesser explored aspects: the parapoliticis, especially as it relates to Ireland; the specter of the Pinkertons; the enigma that is Mary Jane Kelly; Aleister Crowley's stab at Ripperology; and the broader milieu of the Bohemian movement that may have partly inspired the murders. Even if this is hardly conclusive, there's a lot of material to explore and then some.

As always, the festivities will start at 9:23 pm est. I'll start letting everyone in a few minutes before. Below is the Zoomy stuff:
