Featured Review on this writing by Buffershaker

"A gripping and macabre start to this atmospheric chiller.I could almost see the scene with my own eyes being played out.Excellent imagery with nothing spared for the imagination as the evil fiend sliced open his victim as if she were nothing more than a joint of meat.If she were unconscious after her throat had been cut then she would have been spared the agony and torture of the menace which awaited her lifeless body.I enjoyed the descriptive scenes leading up to terror which awaited this victim.The tension was palpable and this prologue (chapter 1) certainly whetted my appetite for what promises to be a right ripping yarn."

A 7 part short story: London, Whitechapel 1888 and the city is in the grip of terror as a crazed killer stalks the dark streets carving up innocent women, who the papers are calling, Jack the
Ripper. Scotland Yard call in the help of retired Oxford professor of the sciences, Sir Charles Wilkinson Maynard as an advisor to these brutal killings.

This is a Celtic-Scribe63 spin on the Jack the Ripper story. Warning: contains, adult themes, sexual references and bloody gore and violence. As usual it would be great to read any of your comments
or thoughts about this story. good or bad, I can take it.
