The temperatures are still hot, and it’s not quite fall yet. Here we are, reviewing a book that should be destined for October. When the temperatures cool and the nights are just a bit spookier, that’s the perfect time for a haunted house story. Instead, we’re reading Home Before Dark by Riley Sager now. Because … Continue reading There’s No Place Like Home
There and back again

London Calling
Hello friends! June is almost over and July is only a few days away. I will be taking the month of July off from writing this blog. Why? Because I'm going to England! Almost two weeks in the heart of London with side trips to the country and to Scotland. It's something I've wanted to … Continue reading London Calling
Parallel Cases: What do Mycroft Holmes & St. Louis have in common?
Mark Twain and his band of Futurists. Who knew? In my rabbit hole of Holmesian comic books and graphic novels, I finally set upon Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook written by Kareen Abdul-Jabbar and Raymond Obstfeld. The story takes place in Mycroft Holmes’ younger years, still in university and refusing to make his mark … Continue reading Parallel Cases: What do Mycroft Holmes & St. Louis have in common?
My rabbit hole is the size of Reichenbach Falls.
I fell down a rabbit hole this past weekend. It started with a comic book, A Study in Emerald. Then it was Major Holmes and Captain Watson. Then I was reminded that I ordered another comic, Mycroft Holmes and the Apocalypse Handbook which I'll be reviewing next week. During my search and discussion of Holmesian … Continue reading My rabbit hole is the size of Reichenbach Falls.
Why’s everyone gotta pick on Archduke Ferdinand?

Last review we had Sherlock Holmes (sort of) in alternate Victorian London where Lovecraftian Elder Gods ruled. This week we have Sherlock Holmes (sort of) in an … Continue reading Why’s everyone gotta pick on Archduke Ferdinand?
1,000 Views and free book!
Wednesday, I passed 1,000 views on my blog! While I know that may not be a huge deal for some review blogs, it's huge for me! I have to admit, I get a little tickled when I got the notification. I've been thinking for a while how to expand this blog and how to say … Continue reading 1,000 Views and free book!
A Study in Sherlock Comics
There’s an old adage in the Ghostbusters/ Real Ghostbusters fandom that dictates that when writing fanfiction, you can crossover GB/RGB with any fandom. I’m beginning to thing this adage may apply to Sherlock Holmes as well. There are so many pastiches and variations surrounding Sherlock Holmes. He’s met Dracula, Jack the Ripper, Scooby Doo, The … Continue reading A Study in Sherlock Comics
Look Back Diaries: Ten Years Later
If you’ve been following me for even a month, you know that one of my favorite books is Pride and Prejudice and that in my spare time I devour P&P variations from Kindle Unlimited. Seriously, don’t look at my Goodreads, it’s ridiculous. Ten years ago, a few small named people: John Green and Bernie Su … Continue reading Look Back Diaries: Ten Years Later
