I'm so ashamed... I, being a big Sladist, have had this for nearly 2 years now and haven't yet read it.... will take with me on an upcoming cruise to read, finally!
Cover blurb:
Isolated in Ashworth House, an asylum for the criminally insane, is the Ripper. He believes he's the notorious butcher who terrorized Whitechapel more than a century ago. He talks of time travel, infinity, and the occult. In the black hole of his imagination, he reenacts the crimes. In the darkness of his heart, he still craves the thrill of the kill. Thank God he can't escape. but with such an ingenious mind for murder, the Ripper doesn't have to--and the ghastly crimes he can manipulate from his padded cell are taking Zinc Chandler and the Special X investigators on a trail of unspeakable carnage that leads to the idyllic Cook Islands, where human sacrifice and cannibalism is more than a dark and perverted chapter in history. It's tradition.
Come and get it!

Slade has outdone himself yet again! I was so forcefully reminded, while reading this, why Slade is one of my favorite writers! Bed Of Nails packed a punch. It was one hell of a wild ride, chock full of the usual suspense and gross-out moments that you expect from his works.
I have finally decided to set free all of my Michael Slade novels. I've always said that because I love them so much, I will eventually re-read them... but let's face it, the TBR continues to grow and grow, so I'll let these find new homes!
