[Series Overview] Stalking Jack the Ripper tetralogy - Kerri Maniscalco

Disclaimer, one you'd see on multiple posts As I struggled to decide which book series to cover overviews for, it dawned to me that I'd never get started at this rate. It became clear to me that, it's rather unlikely for me to use this blog as my "main" reviewing spot since I have Goodreads for that, and chances of someone miraculously stumbling across this blog out of the countless ones out there, is just rather slim, therefore, I'd put up links to my GR reviews (in English,) and this post would be in Chinese for people who are curious about the series but either aren't comfortable with or just don't prefer reading in English. Please also note that, sometimes I don't have time to write actual reviews, HOWEVER, I do always put down thoughts when I document my reading status updates, so for GR desktop users, remember to scroll down if it appears to contain little, it'd be under the quotes I liked from that book (when applicable lol;) for mobile app users, remember to switch to "Reading Activity," which would not be the default as "Review" is.

The actual review is, as usual, WIP, but like I said above, getting the post out there first.

這一個我是因為在搜同盒子出產的The Diviners特別版（有夠漂亮！）資料的時候才遲緩發現的，當時GR上其實已有個別頁面，但畫質太糟了（讀者熱情提供但拍攝角度有待加強😅）所以等了一陣子（希望之後有更好的圖源），我有幫忙更換第一和第二集的封面（本來distort較明顯），不幸2022年10月開始我真的被RL壓榨到疲於奔命，所以就（不管後兩集在GR上不太好看）先放上來了w

The Bookish Box於2021年10月公布此特別版的消息跟所含內容^{[The Bookish Box @ Facebook一]}，隔月公布第一集封面^[二]～主繪師為Lauren Boyle^{[繪師官網]}，裏書衣繪師為Arzzz^{[繪師Instagram][繪師Tumblr]}。話說，本來如果一直沒有好圖源，我通常就會以官方發佈的資訊直接鑲暫代，所以一直蠻納悶為何找不到貼文（非官方這個算照的很棒的，供參^{[jy @ Twitter]}），在搜尋過程中才發現原來這版生產過程有瑕疵（錯字跟其他校正疏失等），GR和前面網友的那個版本都是沒印好的（標題顏色錯誤）。

送上覺得整理情況頗詳細的傳送門www Kaya → [Bookish Box Tea: The Stalking Jack the Ripper Edition @ A Fictional Bookworm]和Cynthia的兩支unboxing影片 → [Cyn's Workshop @ YouTube一（原始版）][二（重新印刷更正版）]，這邊就可以看到裏書衣的長相。

BONUS - DUST JACKET ONLY

American English | 美式英文 （Fox & Wit Exclusive）
超感謝Amethyst的分享w 類似情況我因為The Folk of the Air那篇就已經掙扎完了，這篇因為同樣是至少書背有書名（請參見foxandwit @ Instagram^{[第一集][二][三][四]}），所以決定可以發帖這系列了哈哈。這套書衣是由Kira Night^{[繪師官網]}作畫、可參考看看此書衣部分原圖^{[繪師Instagram文一][二][三][四]}。書衣本身我沒有覺得超好看，但很高興終於有不一樣的封面哈哈xDDDD 但跟The Folk of the Air的情況類似，其實我是覺得negative space很夠在封面本身也加標個書名和作者說xP

嗯。不列在正式出版的版本，是因為這個真的本來就是只有書衣，而且還不是同一個箱子送的，是要慢慢個別收集。目前僅附上Instagram上我覺得能好好看到這書衣包起書來實際長什麼樣子的連結^{[whathectorreads]}（連結我這邊隨時有可能撤換）。最後最後，當然就是得放上什麼來代表這版本，所以鑲嵌由繪師分享比較能一次看、拿來比較的書衣圖：

作者真的不是普通勇，這系列我其實本來覺得就要靠同樣是她self-publish出書的義大利文版出齊才有望能發文，沒想到竟然先等到美國重出新封面！真的有心到爆炸！（不過諷刺的是，換封面重出她倒是社交平台完全沒提囧）

講一下尷尬的事，就在我歡天喜地把帖子整理好，差不多要發出去的時候，我還是有良心的提一下：這版第一集這封面（如上附圖），好像僅殘留在GR這Kindle版頁面；其他集數新版精裝平裝電子書都真的一致是上面列出的封面，偏偏第一集，我本來以為是後台編輯出包，精裝平裝頁面用的是原版封面，仔細看才發現字體是新的。

會選Kindle頁面來當，自然是因為，中途改封面、就這版本實際存在過的機率最高（很難想像自己出實體書可以馬上重印換封面）。Amazon上面目前（2023）也不是這圖了，但我覺得好歹它被發佈過，如果因為莫名換回舊封面就整組不分享，真的實在太虧了，所以就這樣了！（但說實在我真的感到超匪夷所思，作者是跟老東家關係好嗎？還是當時是她親自出馬當模特兒或攝影師？怎麼能使用原版封面圖還相安無事呢？版權沒問題？）

總之，作者很有心（大概也有足夠的財力），很熱血的換了大部分封面又出了一次，第一次很安全，但我覺得這次的排版更好，因為明確看得到作者是誰xDDD 所以我覺得某種層面是有加分的！


American English | 美式英文 （重新出版電子書）


真的是有一種「我不是才剛更新過嗎？怎麼馬上又換新的了？」的感覺xDDDD 不知道的人，原本第一到三集是由傳統出版社出版，後來就... 沒續約吧，第四和五集是作者自己出的，還很貼心地讓封面風格一致。然後就是2022那版整套全部自己出版的版本，但不到一年，就又由小出版社Oliver-Heber Books重新出版了xP 封面繪師為Draženka Kimpel^{[繪師官網]}。
