From Hell by Alan Moore
5.0
My favorite of the Alan Moore authored books that I've read. The exploration and commentary on human nature is dense and intriguing but, unlike every other of his books I've read, no character is ever giving a long speech on behalf of Moore.
I had never anything on Jack the Ripper, and this provided a fascinating perspective on it. I really appreciate Appendix II that explores and acknowledges how dense the web of mystery, fiction and lies are around the case. The depictions of the murders are gripping and horrific. The portrayal of a highly corrupt society, catering to the powerful, is all too plausible.
