Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula: The Adventure of the Solitary Grave by Christian Klaver
From the Supernatural Case Files of Sherlock Holmes London's most beloved detective encounters his most deadly foe, and the results will be unlike any Sherlock Holmes adventure before it! Some Reviews for 'The Adventure of the Solitary Grave': "This blending of two major Victorian characters is written in a style so seamless you can almost believe it was found in the attic of one of Doyle's editors. Yes, it's a little darker than I usually read, but I honestly couldn't put it down. The nuances of Holmes, Watson, and yes, Count Vlad Dracula himself are layered and well-drawn. You'll hold your breath, I promise. It's quite simply the most believable Holmes/fantasy crossover I've ever read." - from STEAMED! @ http: //ageofsteam.wordpress.com "What's most remarkable about this story is the degree of authenticity Klaver gives it-- it reads just like a story by Doyle (or Watson, if you prefer!). The attention to Victorian detail is also noteworthy, and it's clear that the author knows his Holmes mythology. You may think you've seen all that can be done with teh sub-genre of "Holmes meets Dracula" tales, but The Case of the Solitary Grave is exciting and refreshingly unpredictable. As a bonus, we get a very touching look at the deep bond of friendship between Holmes and Watson." - Heath Lowrance "I was very pleased with this short story. I am a big fan of the original Sherlock Holmes stories and of the novel Dracula. This short story was well written and was strikingly similar to the style of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle himself. I highly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of the original tales." - JVib The Supernatural Case-Files of Sherlock Holmes The Adventure of the Solitary Grave The Adventure of the Innsmouth Whaler The Adventure of the Lustrous Pearl
