Jeff Campbell and Charles Prepolec : Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes:

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable read for fans of Holmes and horrorBy J. SextonOverall, I enjoyed the book, although I found the lack of a table of contents annoying.Premise: an anthology of Sherlock Holmes stories, each with a dash of horror elements. That concept drew me in. As usual in an anthology, some stories I enjoyed more than others.The Lost Boy by Barbara Hambly was more dark fantasy than horror. I liked Peter Pan as a character and thought the story well done.The Last Arrow by Christopher Sequeira was less successful for me. I felt the ending was unexpected and I felt let down.The Things that Shall Come upon Them by Barbara Roden was well done. Pairing Sherlock Holmes with a psychic detective allowed the reader to choose solutions.The Finishing Stroke by M.J. Elliott was enjoyable, in a horror story way.Sherlock Holmes in the Lost World by Martin Powell combines the two Conan Doyle tales.The Granchester Grimoire by Chico Kidd and Rick Kennett was a quite adequate tale.The Strange Affair of the Steamship Friesland by Peter Calamai was a good ghost story with ties to a canon Holmes mystery.The Entwined by editor Jeff (J.R.) Campbell was another piece of dark fantasy and sent shivers down my back.Merridew of Abominable Memory by Chris Roberson was a solid mystery with a horrific twist.Red Sunset by Bob Madison was a delightful mixture of Holmes, hard-boiled mystery, and horror. An aging Sherlock Holmes in LA deaing with vampires -- what could be better!The Red Planet League by Kim Newman felt a bit out of place with nary a drop of Holmes. Still Colonel Moran's Moriarty tale is well done.You should enjoy both horror and Sherlock Holmes before picking up this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Gaslight Grimoire a treatBy AngelaUnlike some others, I do not write spoilers. I hate to read a recommendation that includes such, so you will not find any of that here. This was a great book, both in the true sense of pastiche writing, and with the twists encountered along the way. I was very pleased with the "voice" of the authors, being true to the sense of writing we appreciate in Sherlock stories. The prose was clear and very readable, while not being redundant with filler as in some other pastiches. The twists in each story kept me guessing, and my favorite of these stories turned my understanding of the characters completely upside down! I reread that story, knowing what the twist was, and it was even more enjoyable the second time around. You'll know it when you read it. What a treat!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. AddictingBy LovecraftLassI bought this, pretty much on a whim. But man, I could not stop reading and bought the other two in the series immediately. Almost every story in this book is great and that's saying something for an anthology. My personal favorites are the Moran narrated story (which happily show up in the other anthologies also), Peter Pan, Merridew and a long list. Probably the only two that I didn't care for (but that others might very well love) were The Last Arrow and Sherlock Holmes in the Lost World. What is great about them is that the reader doesn't even need to be that into Sherlock Holmes. Taken on their own as weird fiction they are great! So at their ridiculously low price what are you waiting for?

Eliminating the impossible just got a whole lot harder!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.Contributors:Peter CalamaiM. J.

Terrific stories, great variety, genuine chills: it’s all here." — Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of HOMINIDS"This book contains eleven of the most ingenious, imaginative and inspired exploits yet committed to paper. Wonderful stuff!" — Roger Johnson, BSI, Editor, The Sherlock Holmes Journal "[Barbara] Roden effortlessly involves Holmes in a mystery derived from M.R. James's classic tale of terror, "Casting the Runes," featuring psychic sleuth Flaxman Low." - Publisher's Weekly
