Gaslight Gothic: Strange Tales of Sherlock Holmes Cloaked in gothic shadows, soaked in blood, darkness descends on the world of Sherlock Holmes. "I have heard, Mr. Holmes, that you can see deeply into the manifold wickedness of the human heart." Vengeance from beyond, forbidden passions and sadistic cruelty draw the great detective and his faithful companions into storms of madness and otherworldly violence which threaten to cloud the clarity of logic. Facing the eldritch reach of ancient talismans and arcane science, from the streets of London and Paris to the loneliest of manor houses, the great detective battles the weird and uncanny. Can steadfast reason hold against unspeakable terror when Sherlock Holmes can no longer eliminate the impossible? Follow the great detective through ten new tales of terror as he doggedly pursues investigations leading him to the edge of reason and beyond!

These adroit tales bring our heroes into close proximity to the supernatural with chill and skill. Open this volume of creepy stories and I dare you to keep the jitters at bay." - Bradley Hovda "Gaslight Gothic is another impressive publication from EDGE Science Fiction and Fantasy Publishing, and also a credit to the editors. They have put together some fantastically high-quality Sherlock Holmes stories which fully take advantage of the anthology’s gothic theme, including stories that provide moments of genuine horror, frank interrogations of the nature of gothic fiction and Sherlock Holmes as a character, and some genuinely unnerving endings. If only all Sherlock Holmes anthologies could be of this quality." - Adam Selby-Martin "A delightful mixing of Holmes and horror produces an enjoyable read, and true to the original tales, some surprising twists." - Sunnywood "This book is filled with all of the Gothic themes that will have you sleeping with the lights on. ... I enjoyed this book, and plan to look into the other Gaslight Anthologies." - Kindle Customer "An excellent collection of Holmes with horror added. - fuzzy4, amazon "If you like Sherlock Holmes, gothic, steampunk, mysteries or SciFi these stories are for you." - SFBaker "This particular title, STRANGE TALES OF SHERLOCK HOLMES is very unusual; very clever; at times weaving in the supernatural; very ‘gothic’; and very suspenseful with detailed characters and plots. The authors very masterfully intertwine familiar characters, locations and situations with a gothic form." - Diana H. Maine "Well written and enjoyed the Gothic take on the Great Detective." - J Snook "I would recommend this one without hesitation for the several exceptional stories it did contain." - London Fog Books in this series: Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes Gaslight Gothic: Strange Tales of Sherlock Holmes Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes Gaslight Grotesque: Nightmare Tales of Sherlock Holmes
