Murder Red Ink
very disturbing. had nightmares.I like horror and I loved the subtle Lovecraft tie ins.
I am writing this review for Goodreads. I found this book confusing and tiresome. The scenes changed at random, there was little or no background info to orient the reader. I did not care about any of the characters. At the end of the book my feelings were, finally it is over.
"Intense. Graphic. Provocative. The psychological thriller has a new voice and it is Mord McGhee," said Steve Alten."Even if you hate reading, this book will change that. Pageturner, blew me away," said George C. Romero"A uniquely intellectual American book," says Loren Coleman"With the skill and aplomb of Philip K. Dick," says Robert E. Anderson"A great addition to the genre," says Adam Davies.
Murder Red Ink is not for the reader who wants to curl up and relax. It is for the sophisticated Sci-fi reader who has a brain and wants to use it. Don't bother trying to get ahead of the author, you won't succeed. A couple of things really stand out with this author:1. He is a true wordsmith. By that,I don't mean he just uses a complete vocabulary, but is truly skilled with the use of words. He can take a complete paragraph and condense it to two or three words which gives a far better image
I love all things Ripper and this is perhaps my favorite so far. The mystery builds and builds and then explodes all over the reader. The disturbing look at a serial killer reminded me of the horror movies such as Silence of the Lambs and Seven but then there was this whole other science fiction thing going on.One of the better writers I've come across in a long while.
I was a bit in two minds with this book (won in a giveaway); on the one hand I struggled to get into a non linear story with multiple strands, but maybe that was more me than the book, on the other hand it was a fresh treatment of a topic that's been done many times before, and that hand was dripping with blood from a very sharp blade! Read it and see for yourself.

Interpretation Concering Books Murder Red Ink
In Murder Red Ink, Mord McGhee imaginatively explores the incomprehensible depths of horror, human nature, and captures the brutal reality of the monster behind the Jack the Ripper murders in 1888. Allena Gould moves among the horror brought into the future of Chicago where technological ghosts are a reality and historical interface programs can be rewritten and interacted with. Once a talented prodigy, she wrestles her way through incomprehensible nightmares. Torture and murder as seen through the eyes of the Ripper himself in a science fiction whirlwind of the darkest sort. McGhee's vision of apocalyptic dread is not for the passing reader, it's a literary odyssey of gore meant to be enjoyed by those who like to be terrifically disturbed. NY TIMES best-selling author of MEG & THE LOCH notes, "Graphic. Intense. Provocative. The psychological thriller has a new voice and it is Mord McGhee." *2nd Edition includes foreword by Robert E. Anderson, Casebook.org senior forum and Jack the Ripper speaker.Present Appertaining To Books Murder Red Ink

Saw the editorial on facebook and picked this up on kindle. I didn't realize it was new. This book blew my mind. I don't like scifi that much because it tends to drag on and only appeal to hardcore types. I like crime non-fiction and the connections made to the Ripper killings in London was a wicked and shocking twist. If you have bad dreams easily steer clear. If you like serial killer murder mysteries and tv shows like American Horror Story this is one hell of a thriller.very disturbing. had nightmares.I like horror and I loved the subtle Lovecraft tie ins.
