Gaslight Grimoire

by J. R. Campbell (Editor), Charles Prepolec (Editor)

Overview

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".

Eliminating the impossible just got a whole lot harder!

Editorial Reviews

"This book contains eleven of the most ingenious, imaginative and inspired exploits yet committed to paper. Wonderful stuff!"

The Sherlock Holmes Journal - Roger Johnson

"This is just a taste of what's in store. I enjoyed every story in the anthology and usually there's one or two that are oh-hum, not here though. This is truly and interesting collection of stories that really do harken back to the original Sherlock Holmes mysteries with a bit of the paranormal thrown into the mix."
