This was such a pleasant surprise. An absolute banger of a book about Frankenstein vs. Jack the Ripper that goes through the efforts of tying into the Frankenstein film universe, whilst also making sure to humanize the sex workers who were the victims of the Ripper. 

There are some outstanding bits of dialog and whilst this is much too gorey to ever have been a Universal film, it would have made a damn good Hammer one.
