Reading Hunting Prince Dracula by Kerri Maniscalo. It is the continuation of the Stalking Jack the Ripper series. Set in the late 1800, this steampunk historical fiction/romance will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end.
     
'Gotham by Gaslight' or (basically) steam-punk Batman.

Victorian-set stories, that re-imagines the Bat in Victorian times, with the first (of the 2) in this seeing Bruce Wayne framed for killings carried out by Jack the Ripper. Yes, that Jack the Ripper, who has appeared in Gotham city following his killing spree in London.

The second - not as good - story sees Bruce Wayne struggling to decide whether to take up the mantle of the Bat again when Gotham City's World fair is attacked, by the 'Master of the Future'.

I'd recommend the first; the second is so-so.

A dark, gritty, bloody and violent film following the crimes of Jack the ripper and persues the theory that has been claimed for many years. Great performances all round, with huge attention to detail. Very graphic you have been warned!

Amanda Harvey Purse what can I say amazing I loved this book and I'm not just saying that. 

 The story line jumps between the years 1888 and 1889 the place London your hosts for this intriguing murder mystery are Mary Kelly the fifth Jack the Ripper victim and Thomas Dunn a writer and I'm not telling you any more because you really should read this book. There is so much I could tell but won't all you need to know is that Amanda has mixed alot facts relating to the Jack the Ripper case amongst fiction to create a great story.

Easy to read fictional story based on real murders commited at the same time as jack the ripper. focusing on three characters. The author depicts the seedier side of london with the opium dens and the prospect of fear and death around every corner. wonderfully atmospheric. can`t wait for the next book for the further adventures of Dr Bond

I adored this book. I got stalking jack the ripper vibes when I first started reading this - but since I hated ripper I thought for sure I would grow to dislike this book - but that was not the case at all for me. I thought it was well written and interesting and not predictable at all, I thought for sure I knew who did it but.. nope, wrong! There were a few parts I was like, meh on, hence the 4 stars instead of 5 but still a definite must read book!
