OverviewA deftly crafted, scintillating mash-up of Victorian mystery and horror--Sherlock Holmes and Mr Hyde encounter villains with unfathomable, terrifying abilities ... 1903. A darkness has descended on London. A series of grisly murders are uncovered, trophies taken, bodies arranged and soon there are whispers of Jack the Ripper's return. A new client arrives at Baker Street seeking Sherlock Holmes's help: Dr. Jekyll claims his friend has been wrongfully accused of the hideous crimes, a friend called Mr. Edward Hyde, whose very existence relies on a potion administered by the doctor himself.

Table of ContentsReviewsEnchanting and enthralling. -- Kirkus Reviews on Shadows over London Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Bram Stoker were friends and admired each other's work. I'm happy to think that both of them would have greatly enjoyed Christian Klaver's exuberant, reverent mashup of their two best-known characters. -- James Lovegrove, author of The Cthulhu Casebooks This is wonderful storytelling--bold; filled with energy and knowledge--which grabs the reader by the lapels of his or her smoking jacket and drags them merrily into the adventure. Doyle's voice is recaptured and slyly modernized. I can't wait to read the next instalment in what promises to be a supremely witty and dynamic sequence of stories. -- J. S. Barnes, author of Dracula's Child, on Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula Author InformationChristian Klaver is the author of The Supernatural Case Files of Sherlock Holmes, Shadows over London, and the Nightwalker series, and has also written over a dozen novels in both fantasy and sci-fi, as well as for magazines such as Escape Pod and Dark Wisdom. He's worked as a bookseller, bartender, and a martial arts instructor before settling into a career in internet security. Tab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
