Sherlock vs. the Supernatural
Sherlock Holmes was the ultimate rationalist, scoffing at such things as ghosts and vampires. But that hasn't stopped some excellent authors from pitting him against strange and dark forces in some highly entertaining tales.
Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic tales of Sherlock Holmes by Holmes (sometimes aided by the trusty Dr. Watson) takes on everything from fairies to Count Dracula himself in these tales, while encountering his "competition", Victorian crime-fighters Flaxman Low and Carnacki the Ghost Finder!
Stories by: Barbara Hambly, Christopher Sequeira, Barbara Roden, M.J. Elliott, Martin Powell, Chico Kidd & Rick Kennett, Peter Calamai, J.R. Campbell, Chris Roberson, Bob Madison, and Kim Newman.
Shadows Over Baker Street by Sherlock Holmes gets drawn into H.P. Lovecraft's "Cthulhu Mythos" in these clever tales!
Top authors have a fine time stirring the Great Detective into the swirling lurking darkness that typifies Lovecraft's stories. (The title is a play on Lovecraft's story, "The Shadow Over Innsmouth".)
Stories by: Neil Gaiman, Elizabeth Bear, Steve Perry, Steven-Elliott Altman, James Lowder, Brian Stableford, Poppy Z. Brite & David Ferguson, Barbara Hambly, John Pelan, Paul Finch, Tim Lebbon, Michael Reaves, Caitlin R. Kiernan, John P. Vourlis, Richard A. Lupoff, F. Gwynplaine MacIntyre, and David Niall Wilson & Patricia Lee Macomber.
