3.From Hell
Alan Moore,Eddie Campbell. Top Shelf Productions.2004(New Ed) 572 Pages

Speaking of books and movies. From Hell was,I believe, the first film adaptation of an Alan Moore work,and not a terribly good beginning. The producers took an intense,rambling novel about violence,philosophy and dark erotica and turned into a film vehicle for Johnny Depp. While they are both loosely based on Jack the Ripper, there just about every similarity ends. The movie is worth watching if you are a serious Johnny Depp fan,which I know many of you are. The book is worth reading if you want some depth to your stories.

4.The Victorian Act II:Self Immolation
Trainor Houghton et all Penny-Farthing Press 2002 188 pages


Did I mention the part about rorschach99 spreading his own addiction? This is part of a series of five novels about a mysterious character named the Victorian, about secret orders, about pre Katrina New Orleans,etc. Rambling back and forth between Victorian and present times it is an extremely well drawn,well executed plot line that leaves me hiding my wallet so that I do not go track down the other novels before I am finished with the shelf of books I am reading now.
