Plot edit

In a post-apocalyptic world, a time traveler randomly abducts people from throughout history for his granddaughter Juliette (named for the Marquis de Sade's novel Juliette)[1] to torture and kill in her sexual games. The last "toy" he gives her, however, turns out to be Jack the Ripper.

Reception edit

SFF World has called it "unsettling".[2]

Sequel edit

Ellison wrote a sequel for the same anthology called "The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World".
