Kind of batshit insane, murder, magicks, and lots of boobs.

One of the dramatic high points in the story, as the final murder arrives and the dimension-bending moments that could be hallucinations or glimpses of future arrive again. The meditations on how Jack the Ripper's killings are something shocking, something that informs how we think about murder and death today, are equally interesting.
