The Ripper Lives: A Name for Evil (9/10)
As the hunt for Jack the Ripper enters its deadliest phase, Inspector Frederick Abberline faces a horror far beyond murder—a force of evil that defies explanation. When Callum Gow, a man long thought lost to the abyss of Whitechapel’s underbelly, reappears, his testimony offers the most chilling description of the Ripper yet. But Gow is no ordinary witness. Scarred in body and mind, he speaks of things no sane man should understand—voices in the darkness, an unrelenting pull toward annihilation, and a killer whose malice stretches beyond human comprehension.

As Scotland Yard scrambles to untangle the labyrinth of corruption, fanaticism, and unseen forces guiding the Ripper’s hand, Abberline and Assistant Chief Constable Melville Macnaghten are forced to confront terrifying truths. The line between man and monster grows ever thinner, and with each revelation, the case becomes more than a manhunt—it is a race against an encroaching madness that threatens to consume them all.

But the deeper they go, the more they find themselves ensnared in the Ripper’s game. As the city burns, enemies strike from the shadows, and justice becomes a fragile illusion, Abberline must make a choice: cling to reason, or embrace the darkness that has already begun to claim his soul.

With haunting psychological depth, relentless tension, and a descent into the abyss of human—and inhuman—depravity, A Name for Evil is the ninth and most harrowing installment in The Ripper Lives series. Some monsters hide in the night. Others whisper from within.
