Atonement Is At Hand...

... and on sale at New Concepts Publishing! Redemption always carries a costly price tag. For Simon Trelawney, the price just might be his heart and soul.

When the Prince of Darkness offers Simon Trelawney the chance to redeem himself by wresting Jack the Ripper's intended victim from beneath his nose, it isn’t the chance of redemption that appeals to him as much as the chance for revenge against the vampire who turned him over a hundred years ago.

Tessa Long is not just any victim, however. She’s the great-granddaughter of the woman Jack originally planned to possess and kill, a victim he is obsessed with claiming, and Simon discovers that it will not be the Prince of Darkness who decides his fate. It is Tessa herself who will be his salvation--or the death of him.


Lucifer, Jack the Ripper, and a yummy vampire. What are you waiting for? Go claim your Atonement now!

I have a feeling that Jack's gonna be popping up in other books of mine. He's just too eerie not to.

Mega-congratulations, Sherrill. SOunds really good! I just love Jack stories, nearly as much as I love vampire stories...

Fal, I've been fascinated by Jack the Ripper for as long as I can remember--with the fact that we still don't know who he was, the escalating brutality of the murders--and why. What was going on with him, in his mind, that caused him to turn into such a monster? And I've been fascinated with vampires from the moment I saw my first Hammer Horror film with Christopher Lee as Dracula and Peter Cushing as Van Helsing. *shiver*

Sherrill, did you see "From Hell" with Johnnie Depp? AWESOME, AWESOME Jack-themed movie!

Sherrill Quinn said...

Ooh, yeah, Landra. LOVED From Hell. (Of course, it had Johnny Depp, who's very talented. That he's cute is a bonus.) *g*

I've also seen the Jack the Ripper movie in which Michael Caine played Inspector Abberline (Johnny Depp's character). I saw Jack's Back (or something like that) with James Spader, and Time After Time, which had HG Wells chasing Jack the Ripper to the 1970s via his time machine (Malcom McDowell was HG Wells, David Warner played Jack).

At this point I've read three books on Jack, written by various Ripperologists with their views of who Jack could have been. No one seems to be able to come to a consensus as to his identity. It's fascinating.
