"Ripper" is probably Bloch's most influential single short story (and certainly and easily the most plagiarized he wrote...I think only Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game" has been more ripped off among 20C stories...but hardly his best. A bit like saying "Nightfall" is Asimov's best, or "Streetcorner Man" was Borges's. A lot of people will insist, but they're incorrect.
