It is Whitechapel in November 1888 and Jack the Ripper is committing his last known act of butchery in the one-room hovel occupied by the luckless harlot Mary Kelly. And beneath the bed on which the fiend is cruelly and cheerfully eviscerating his victim cowers a fifteen-year-old boy....
This is just the beginning of the extraordinary adventures of Trevor Bentley, a boy who embarked on an errand of mercy and ran into the most notorious serial killer in criminal history, a boy who became a man as he traveled on a quest of vengeance across a wild and untamed continent - a boy who brought the horrors of Jack the Ripper to the New World.
In a bold new language forged out of Mark Twain and Conan Doyle, Richard Laymon's Savage is a brilliant departure and an innovative feat of storytelling that is destined to add luster to an already flourishing reputation.
