Özet

SHERLOCK HOLMES: the Great Detective. A man obsessed with cold logic and focused rationality.

H. P. LOVECRAFT: the 20th century’s undisputed master of macabre madness and cosmic horror.

What if the darkness of Lovecraft’s decadent New England overlapped into the Victorian era of Sherlock Holmes? What if a trail of clues led to impossible visions, malevolent gods, and unspeakably eldritch vistas of terror? Could Holmes survive? Could his sanity survive?

Twenty-five new stories across two volumes pit Holmes and Watson against myriad nightmares from Lovecraft’s fiction––and against those nightmares which his writings have inspired. Join us as we journey from the familiar fog of Baker Street to the rotting gambrel roofs of Arkham, the blasphemous library of Miskatonic University, and beyond….

Cthulhu Mythos and the world's greatest detective, a great combination. Mostly.

In this anthology the disparity of quality is more evident. There are some excellent tales that bring the enormity of the Elder God's to bear, and there are some other great tales which hint at the Otherworldliness of the Mythos. The ones that work well also bring the two rich characters to life.

And then there are the tales where the main characters are dead, or act out of character, or simply bystanders and appear as extras in someone else's tale. Less good.

And why didn't the editors arrange the stories in some sort of chronological order? And why in one story are the 221B boys ignorant of the Mythos, and the next tale ArchMagi? Lazy editing in my humble opinion.

Fortunately the narration has the continuity the anthology's order lacks. Characters were clearly defined and engaging, and it was the narrator who kept me going when madness and frustration threatened to send me to the abyss of Dnf. A good collection overall.

Despite this collection not really being about Holmes and Watson - other than in a name only - they are just about tolerable. Hugely improved by a great narrator - I put him alongside Nigel Peever, when it comes to Holmes…
I found the stories so silly that it became increasingly difficult to suspend disbelief, and convince myself it really were Sherlock Holmes stories I was listening to. Be nice to hear some real adventures again…

Nothing to do with Doyle’s world
