Funny Little Games by Jack Harding
5.0

5⭐️

I recently read Ripper Country and decided to give this short story another read. I loved this little read and the macabre feel it produces. Jack has cleverly crafted this read to make the reader feel part of the audience in Chapman’s performance of his ‘Funny Little Games’.

The descriptions of the East End and the way the protagonist described the ‘slums’ of the streets was clever and brought the story to life. I loved how Chapman was, in a sense, inspired by Jack the Ripper and felt he had to clean up the destitute of the East End, whilst also getting a huge kick for himself.

I really enjoyed this read and highly recommend you check both Funny Little Games and Ripper Country out!
