A Toy for Juliette

"A Toy for Juliette" is a 1967 science fiction and horror short story by American writer Robert Bloch, appearing for the first time in Harlan Ellison's anthology Dangerous Visions.

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.

SFF World has called it "unsettling".

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