I needed something that would be amusing, so I chose Warlock Holmes, The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles. It was humorous, as you can no doubt tell from the titles of the stories. The Adventure of the Blackened Beryls Silver Blaze: Murder Horse The Reigateway to Another World The Adventure of the Solitary Tricyclist The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles Sherlock Holmes meets magic with a heavy dose of Cthulhu. That is a nearly perfect mashup for me. And it did make me laugh during a time when I needed that mirth. So I recommend it for those who have read the first book in the series: Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone. If the mashup idea amuses you, start with the first book and continue. First book of the new year, woo! In a reversal from my opinion on the previous book in this series, I found the novella story to be much better than the short stories in this collection. Similar to the previous book, I found this a witty and funny parody of both eldrich horror and traditional Holmes tales....when it wasn't try too hard. The more zany/less subtle jokes had me rolling my eyes and taking me out of the story. This volume was a little less polished in the short stories than the previous volume. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

This continues the story of the crazy Warlock Holmes and Dr Watson. Watson is the clue finder and Holmes has all the magic. This time most of the story is around an adventure with a Canadian Lord with a curse. Throw in a Hell-Hound, demon horses, a succubus, and a butler that turns out to be a demon, and a serial killer on the loose.
Holmes doesn't want to go to this house on the moors, he actually looked disturbed by the thought of going there. Watson goes alone to guard the Lord while Warlock finds a way to fix the curse.
Just like book one, giggles ensue, occasionally out right laughter! This book is hilarious, witty, and a joy to read or listen. I got the Graphics Audio addition from Chirp that has multiple narrators and sound effects. They are so good!
It's really funny when Watson describes Canadians or Americans. ( )
