![]() I’ve never read a single Sherlock Holmes story. ![]() I do have to admit though that I am only a Holmes fan in theory. We’re combining universes in a proton-smashing literary fusion event! As the dusk jacket asks, “what would happen if Conan Doyle’s peerless detective and his allies were to find themselves faced with mysteries whose solutions lay not only beyond the grasp of logic, but of sanity itself?” In some of the forums I look at from time to time and on some of the Lovecraftian podcasts out there I’ve heard a lot of folks asking the same question, “Is this collection worth while?” I admit, I was skeptical at first as I felt my purist blood rising, but then I thought, quite simply, “why not?” While I have read only two stories in the collection so far, I have enjoyed them a lot. ![]() The collection today’s story comes from is closer to the latter, but with a twist. Sometimes that’s been a more general theme and at other times they’ve zeroed in on a particular HPL story. Some of the works I’ve been reviewing here have come from collections put together by their authors, while others have been edited according to a theme. While I cannot say which royal line, I would hazard that he is an heir, perhaps-no, second to the throne-in one of the German principalities.” The corpse is obviously not that of a man-the color of his blood, the number of limbs, the eyes, the position of the face-all these things bespeak the blood royal. Please give me some credit for having a brain. ![]()
