The Jekyll Chronicles: 2 - Rise of The RipperIn the fog-choked streets of Victorian Whitechapel, shadows are not merely cast by gas lamps — they are born in the hearts of men.
Dr. Henry Jekyll, a brilliant yet enigmatic physician, has devoted his life to unraveling the mysteries of the human psyche. But when his ambitious assistant begins to push the boundaries of morality and science, Jekyll’s carefully controlled experiments spiral into darkness. Unbeknownst to Jekyll, his assistant tampers with their findings, unleashing a deadly predator on the streets of London.
As bodies pile up, whispers of a shadowy killer haunt both the opulent drawing rooms of London’s elite and the grim alleys of Whitechapel. Detective Hawthorne, relentless and razor-sharp, begins to unravel the threads connecting the murders. Yet the deeper he digs, the more the trail leads to not only Jack’s descent but also the increasingly erratic and secretive Dr. Jekyll.
What begins as a hunt for a killer transforms into a chilling exploration of the fine line between control and chaos, ambition and destruction. As Jekyll wrestles with the monstrous consequences of his experiments and Jack spirals deeper into depravity, one harrowing truth becomes clear: monsters are not born — they are made.
Rise of The Ripper is a gripping tale of obsession, morality, and the shadows that dwell within us all. When the predator becomes the prey and the creator faces his creation, who will prevail?
Perfect for fans of psychological thrillers, gothic horror, and tales of complex villainy, this chilling reimagining of Victorian London will leave you questioning the true nature of monstrosity.
