review 1: I really enjoyed this mix of some of my favorite characters from the Holmesian era. Guy Adams conjures up an Wold- Newton like England using characters from M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood & William Hope Hodgson. If you are a fan of that type of supernatural fiction and want a little Alastair Crowley thrown in for good measure you will enjoy this pastiche. Folks who want their Holmes sticking closer to the Canon might be put out as real suernatural events occur in the novel but, I thought the two genres were successfully blended in this novel. I am looking forward to others in this series.
review 2: I thoroughly enjoyed this rather different Sherlock Holmes novel. I have read a few novels that combine the greatest fictional detectives and the supernatural and t... morehis was one of my favourites. Traditionalists may disagree, but if your looking for something different then this is ideal. Holmes and Watson team up with William Hope Hodgson's famous supernatural detective Thomas Carnacki and Algernon Blackwood's creation John Silence. As these are some of my favourite writers the homage to them was well received and I thought it was a master stroke. Also look out for a famous M.R. James character making an appearance. I would definitely recommend this book to open minded Sherlock fans. less
