From Hell by Alan Moore

5.0

A breathtaking, epic work of horror. Alan Moore (with artist Eddie Campbell) weaves a tapestry of fact, rumor, and metaphysical philosophy in "From Hell", a graphic novel about the Jack the Ripper murders. Moore uses a very unlikely Ripper theory (that Queen Victoria's personal physician, William Gull, was the Ripper and was working on orders to kill a group of sex workers who happened to be aware of a very embarrassing secret about the Royal family) as the basis for a story that as much about the chaotic nature of human evil and the fluidity of time as it is about the Ripper murders.

"From Hell" will stay with you long after you read the final chapter, and will likely haunt your dreams.
