On A Claire Day by Carla Ventresca and Henry Beckett for July 14, 2017

Robert Bloch’s original short story, “Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper”, was first published in the July, 1943 issue of Weird Tales magazine. It became a popular piece of work, being reprinted in numerous other magazines and anthologies, and was quickly crafted into a radio script for The Kate Smith Hour in 1944. Over the years, many of Bloch’s works would continue to include elements from the Ripper legend, including other television screenplays such as Star Trek’s “Wolf in the Fold”.
