## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A blend of the universes created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H. P. Lovecraft
  

*by R***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2021*

This is the first of three volumes which re-imagine (I hate that term) the adventures of Holmes and Watson as taking place in a world beset by the horrors depicted in the fiction of H. P. Lovecraft.  Some things work, others don't.  To make it work, even in part, we have to accept that the career of Holmes as the world's first Consulting Detective, as chronicled by Watson, is largely fictitious, and that what "actually" happened is very different.  Holmes has spent almost his entire career in efforts to keep various extraterrestrial god-like beings and similar powerful entities from taking over the earth, and he has had important help from Watson, Inspector Gregson, and Mycroft.In this particular novel the first of the series, Holmes encounters for the first time a dangerous adversary who is, far from being a "Napoleon of Crime," instead a somewhat pathetic figure who aspires to Lovecraftian godhood. His success (or failure) in this aspiration is detailed in the second novel of the series.If this sounds like your cup of tea, you might enjoy these three linked novels, SHADWELL SHADOWS, MISKATONIC MONSTROSITIES, and SUSSEX SEA-DEVILS.

    Good Holmes Lovecraft mash-up
  

*by S***H on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2016*

Since the original Holmes stories always avoided the supernatural, it is difficult to properly introduce that element successfully. Some of the resulting stories can be rather bad, but this is one of the more successful ones. The inclusion of a number of authentic period details added to the atmosphere of the piece. The characters of Holmes and Watson were reasonably true to the original, though owing more to the Rathbone and Bruce movies in some respects. The Mythos details were well done. I feel William Miekle is the master of this genre, but Lovegrove's effort is quite good, and I look forward to the future installments.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    The REAL Story...
  

*by T***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 26, 2018*

According to these memoirs of Holmes by Dr. Watson, these are the REAL facts behind the case and not the toned-down versions written for public consumption.  Holmes and Watson are up against the forces of evil in the form of the Elder Gods, the Old Ones, as revealed in HP Lovecraft's writing. This, however, occurred before that writer discovered them  and therefore, the two are in a position to realize the danger the world faces if they fail.A good story, well-written in the a. Conan Doyle manner but with enough originality to make the reader want more.  There's also a bit of fun on the author's part where he claims kinship to Lovecraft through their similarity of names. This was the first novel I've read by this author but afterward, I studied his list of credits.  Now, all I have to do is decide if I want the "real stories" as put out by Watson in the Cthulu Casebooks, or the gentler (?), more expurgated versions of this series.  I"m thinking I'll go with the Casebooks first.This novel was purchased by the author for her Kindle, and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.
