Gaslight Gothic: Strange Tales of Sherlock Holmes par Charles Prepolec

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

I like this concept a lot, but I think that maybe the idea of supernatural Sherlock Holmes takes it a little too far from the cold logic of original flavor Sherlock Holmes. I did think the stories were well written and that all of the authors did a great job of portraying the characters. The plots varied in strength, but I thought they were pretty well crafted.

If you disagree with me and think that Sherlock Holmes and supernatural goes together well, then I'd definitely recommend this collection to you, as I think you will really enjoy the well-crafted stories and inventive ideas. If you are not sure if supernatural belongs in the Holmes world this might not be the book for you.… (plus d'informations)

Gaslight Gothic: Strange Tales of Sherlock Holmes par J.R. Campbell

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

A collection of ten Sherlock Holmes stories of varying standard but the one that stood out for me was “Father of the Man by Stephen Volk" apart from being a good well-written and interesting story it contained the characters of Edgar Allan Poe and Auguste Dupin.

Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes: 3 par Kim Newman

This is another one that I used to own. I read it some time before 2018 and it was a great collection of Sherlock Holmes vs The Supernatural.

Gaslight Gothic: Strange Tales of Sherlock Holmes par J. R. Campbell

Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing.

It's odd that such a rational character as Sherlock Holmes lends himself so well to tales of the more fantastical bent. Gaslight Gothic features ten tales of Holmes investigating crimes of a Victorian Gothic bent; although not all of the stories are to my particular taste, they all do a good job of blending the Great Detective and the less rational world of the Gothic.
