Jack Maybrick

'I am cold curse the bastard Lowry for making me rip. I keep seeing blood pouring from the b*****s. The nightmares are hideous. I cannot stop myself from wanting to eat more. God help me, damn you. No no-one will stop me, God be damned. Think think think write tell all prove to them you are who you say you are make them believe it is the truth I tell. Damn him for creating them, damn him damn him damn him. I want to boil boil boil. See if there eyes pop. I need more thrills, cannot live without my thrills. I will go on. I will go on, nothing will stop me nothing. Cut Sir Jim cut. Cut deep deep deep.'

- James Maybrick, The Diary of Jack the Ripper.

'I am afraid to look back on all I have written. Perhaps it would be wiser to destroy this, but in my heart, I cannot bring myself to do so. I have tried once before, but like the coward I am, I could not. Perhaps in my tormented mind I wish for someone to read this and understand that the man I have become was not the man I was born.'
