![]() I look forward to seeing Lovegrove meet it with future installments. Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows sets a pretty high bar. ![]() Things get dire, and then they get more dire, and strangeness abounds. More tragedies ensue, and strange shadows are seen throughout Shadwell, where these mysterious murders have been occurring. I suspect horror fans will get more out of this than your average Sherlockian, but as a fan of both worlds, I thought Lovegrove melded them nicely, and this read went by much faster than expected. And so Holmes encounters the Great Old Ones, gods who’ve been around since before there were any gods, and his mind. Lovegrove does an outstanding job of evoking Doyle’s style and mixing in healthy dollops of the macabre and fantastic that define the Cthulhu Mythos. The first in a three-part series reimagining the classic canon of Holmes with a Lovecraftian edge, Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows rewrites the early days of Holmes and Watson, from their fateful meeting all the way to an early encounter with one of the Great Detective’s most diabolical foes. ![]() But now, the truth is coming to light as Holmes and Watson do battle with unknowable evils lurking in the heart of London, the kind that threatens not just their lives, but their very souls. ![]() John Watson: the stories of Sherlock Holmes we know and love were a smokescreen, a subterfuge protecting darker secrets and greater evils. ![]() A long-lost inheritance brings to light a curious confession by Dr. ![]()
