"A Toy for Juliette" is a short story by Robert Bloch from Harlan Ellison's "Dangerous Visions", about Jack the Ripper, being pulled into the future by a sadistic "femme fatale", and her mysterious grandfather.

Bloch incorporates themes of utopian libertarianism--the title character, Juliette, is named after the Marquis de Sade's Juliette. Sade was the man for whom "sadism" is named, and Bloch often uses his works in connection with the mentally unstable, such as his character Norman Bates in "Psycho".
