Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows

Praise

“The pastiche is pitch-perfect; Lovegrove tells a thrilling tale and vividly renders the atmosphere of Victorian London.”
—Guardian

“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 . . . Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows sets a pretty high bar. I look forward to seeing Lovegrove meet it with future installments.”
—San Francisco Book Review

“What’s great about these books is that Holmes and Watson aren’t so much reimagined as their context is reinvented; Lovegrove has a lot of fun peering at the classic mysteries through this terrifying new lens, completely distorting the canon and leaving you to decide which universe was “real” and which was just “fiction.””
—Barnes & Noble

“[A] crossover tale for the ages that’s bound to please fans of both literary canons.”
—Starburst Magazine

“Playfully blurring the lines between fact and fiction [with] . . . rich [and] vivid prose.”
—SFX Magazine

“With its canny reflection of the modern metropolis . . . the Cthulhu Casebooks is a lot of fun.”
—Times Literary Supplement

“A mashup designed to entertain.”
—Kirkus Reviews
