From Hell: Master Edition by Alan Moore
5.0
Easily the most research-intensive of Moore’s works I’ve so far read. Masterfully balanced and thematically complex.
The Master Edition collects an Appendix of Endnotes detailing every chapter to the page for a better understanding not only of the time period the story is set in, but of the sources Moore used and his perceived credibility of them. However, I noticed it later and lost in a big part of the experience… or so I think?
The thing is, being confronted by the entirety of this work WITHOUT the endnotes is ALSO quite an exhilarating experience!
(I anyways went back to the chapters I wished to get a deeper understanding of and read the notes pertaining)
