Do you know that book? Some of those stories had cameos of other writers' Victorian era characters like Dr. Nikola and Dorian Gray. Some of them also messed with the canon. What can you do?<br /><br />I went to look this up to see who the writers are besides those you mentioned. I recognized not one name other than Leslie Klinger who wrote the foreword. Most of the writers are members of a Calgary based Holmes fan society and I'm guessing that nearly every contributor is Canadian. What surprised me was that there are four other books in this series of Holmes homages! Based on the titles and subtitles of each volume apparently all of them have supernatural or dark fantasy themes. I'll have to check if any of them are in the CPL system.J F Norrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473487417479127354noreply@blogger.com
