Title: Exploitation-- in a great way
Review: A gem of a slasher yarn that has the sensibilities of a forgotten Hammer film. With each page the author conveys the reader to a London of vintage technicolor punctuated with spurts of bright orange/red blood and bruised purple flesh. The mystery of the identity of The Ripper centers around a creepy Arkham Asylum-type charity hospital and only strays for quick jaunts to the local pub/brothel, Scotland Yard or the occasional dark alley. The suspects are all archetypes, base on real life persons-of-interest or characters from other Ripper fiction. All and all, JACK THE RIPPER is a fun exploitive read that will surely entertain Hammer film fans with it loose and fast interpretation of the infamous crimes, while raising the blood-pressure of Ripperologists from across the pond.
