Yes the book was not entirely accurate but it was still beautifully written. It kept my interest from the very beginning and I could not stop until the last page. It has a great story behind it, and is extremely descriptive (do not not read while eating or if you have a weak stomach). I loved the book and would recommend it to anyone looking for a good horror story.
FUN AND FASCINATING
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
So many Jack The Ripper novels tell the same story over and over. Robert J. Randisi has given us a novel that is both fresh and fun. Most folks know that in addition to writing novels such as DRACULA, Bram Stoker also ran a theater. As CURTAINS OF BLOOD opens, his theater is in danger of closing. To make the play now on stage, Stoker manages to meet the Ripper and get the beast's take on murder--from a killer's point of view. Stoker hopes to enhance the play's authenticity by incoporating these insights. Quite a premise. And Randisi lives up to it, giving us a Victorian London that is as spooky as the house in THE SHINING, and introducing us to many famous people, include Oscar Wilde. CURTAINS OF BLOOD is both fun and fascinating and a great addition to theRipper library.
