Why read it?
1 author picked Shadows Over Baker Street as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and the Cthulhu Mythos? I cannot think of a finer genre cross than this. Holmesâs adventures often touched on the macabre, on the supernatural, and here in this anthology he faces the most monstrous and alien of foes: those created by H. P. Lovecraft. Cosmic horror, ancient mysteries, Doyleâs dauntless detective has his investigative work cut out for him.
Twenty of the finest modern authors contributed to this book and I could not put it down. Neil Gaimanâs "A Study in Emerald" is a particularly horrific and effective tale.
From Glynn's list on crossing crime fiction and the Cthulhu Mythos.
