I'm working my way through Alan Moore's back catalogue and this large volume was well worth it. It's a great take that combines and weaves a number of Jack the Ripper stories, and is a fascinating story from beginning to end.

After the main story, there are extensive notes for each page explaining which Ripper story/source was referenced, how and why, along with appendices and other interesting bits and piece. The notes are a bit like the director's commentary on a DVD: you can use them to add to the experience or ignore it, as you prefer.

If you're wondering if it's "for you": it's about Jack the Ripper, a guy who killed people with a knife in a specific way. The "Ripper" in the name gives it away. :) It has violence, horror, gore, and sex in it - but I wouldn't call it a typical modern horror story, in that it's not designed to test your stomach strength.
