They might not be the real Ripper Memoirs, but they are amazingly true-to-life.

Quote:
An autobiography claiming to be the memoirs of Jack the Ripper has been unearthed at a Somerset museum.
Experts said the book, written by a James Carnac, is almost certainly a fake but is in places "very accurate" and the earliest work of its kind.
He apparently left his 'memoirs' to SG Hulme Beaman, creator of BBC children's character Larry the Lamb, on the understanding it was to be published after his death.
In a preface, Mr Hulme Beaman, who was from Tottenham in north London, claims to have removed some "particularly revolting" passages of text.
He describes the one-legged author as having "a streak of cynical and macabre humour".
He concludes: "My personal view, for what it is worth... is that James Carnac was in actual fact 'Jack the Ripper'."

They should be published.
