Comment from Winslow
Dear Dean,
You certainly are the master of the macabre write. It flows, it drips blood, and in the end it grabs you by the throat and squeezes. You are lyrical, but in a diabolical way.
Do you think humans are also capable of good or in your mind does evil win most of the time?
Warm regards,
Winslow

Heh, thank you, Winslow. I don't know about being the "master", but I'm certainly happy that you feel that way.
Much obliged, my friend!
Comment from BeasPeas
There are many good lines in your poem. Last stanza is particularly good, although there are no slip ups in your story or progression thereof. "Mangled mess" and "knotted skein" are descriptive and unique. Author's note is informative, telling me something I didn't know, which is that Mary was rumored to be a vampiress and that her body disappeared from the morgue. Good write!

Thanks for an exemplary review, as always, BP. I really appreciate it!
Comment from victor 66
The poem makes me wonder if 'Jack' just stopped, just died or just ran into another predator. The poem flows very well; to the point where I read faster the deeper I got into it. I also appreciate your information in the Author's notes. Fascinating. I'm also glad you don't live next door. You're kind of scary. Best wishes.

Hah, yeah, I am a little scary, but in a nice, serial killer sort of way. Ted Bundy was nice. Hannibal Lecture, Gary Ridgway...
Anyhow, thanks for such a wonderfully delightful review, Vic!

Comment from faragon
You paint each scene so vividly, I could picture it in my mind as I was reading. I love the twist at the end where the hunter becomes the hunted...the offender now the victim. Excellent as always...a modern Poe!

Comment from Leineco
Pretty creepy Dean. . .as if Jack wasn't scary enough, you had to go and make him a vampire! Still out there roaming the seedier side of towns (good thing I have a "respectable" job, at least I can breath a little easier).
Nice job updating the creepy!!

Hah ha, well, let's hope he's not still out there...somewhere.
Thanks so much for the excellent review, Leineco. It's appreciated!
Comment from ravenblack
Ahh, so that's how Jack came to hid end. A perfect mash- up, the transition from falling asleep to waking up bound seamless. Have you read Anno Dracula?

Comment from Petriesan
sometimes, it is the evil of man's past that intrigues us more
cannot copy and paste the way you did this, so the last stanza dropped in very well, I especially liked its first phrase
nicely done

Thank you very much, Petriesan. Yes, all of the poems in the pictapoem© series are unable to be copied. It's just the way they're formatted, sorry 'bout that!
Thanks so much again!
Comment from Alan K Pease
I think you have added a great deal to the story beyond the redoubts of Poe and Arthur Conan Doyles' Sherlock Homes characters. A ruby lipped Vanpire was she.
