Author Description

Eliminating the impossible just got a whole lot harder! Sherlock Holmes, the world's greatest Victorian detective, never expected to use his logical mind to solve Occult or Supernatural crimes. But, when put to the test, as envisioned by 11 of today's most popular and accomplished writers, the detective promises to go beyond expectations and solve their uniquely imagined cases. Using his exceptional insights and abilities, Holmes must push his faculties to the maximum; meeting unforeseen challenges in ways you'd never predict. Join Sherlock Holmes, "debunker of pseudo-science and paranormal activity", as he solves these most bizarre and impossible crimes: crimes which go well beyond the all too common catch phrase: "Elementary, my dear Watson".

Elliott, Chico Kidd & Rick Kennett, Bob Madison, Martin Powell, Barbara Roden. With a Foreword by David Stuart Davies and an Introduction by Charles Prepolec. BONUS: 12 Full Page B&W illustrations by Phil Cornell. The fabled tin dispatch box of Dr. John H. Watson opens to reveal eleven all-new tales of mystery and dark fantasy. Sherlock Holmes, master of deductive reasoning, confronts the irrational, the unexpected and the fantastic in the weird worlds of the Gaslight Grimoire.
