Mortimer asked if the legend of the Hound of the Baskervilles was not of interest, Holmes said only: “To a collector of fairy-tales.” And yet Conan Doyle, fascinated by psychic phenomena his entire life, and author of many horror and supernatural stories, did give Holmes a few problems of the otherworldly sort, even if they ended in rational explanations.Featuring an all-star cast of Doyle devotees that includes Caleb Carr and Daniel Stashower, hosts of Baker Street is the third collection of original mystery stories featuring the literary world’s greatest detective (Murder in Baker Street; Murder, My Dear Watson)—and these stories bring Holmes and Watson up against the supernatural. This latest installment in the New Tales of Sherlock Holmes series—edited by Martin H. Sherlock Holmes once declared: “This world is big enough for us. No g
Few of the 10 stories in this follow-up, however, raise even a momentary chill. (Feb.)Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. The highlight, Gillian Linscott's "The Adventure of the Late Orang Outang," captures Conan Doyle's style, even if the mystery is less than baffling. Lovecraft. From Publishers Weekly Pitting the deductive skills of the great rationalist Sherlock Holmes against mysteries that may have an otherworldly source intrigued the detective's creator, as most notably shown by The Hound of the Baskervilles, and has inspired a legion of pastiche writers. This all-original anthology from the distinguished trio of Greenberg, Lellenberg and Stashower is an improvement over a similar volume, Michael Reaves
Starfire said All right but hardly edge of your seat stuff.. Any book that contains Sherlock Holmes and the supernatural has some conflicting issues to begin with. As Holmes clearly did not believe in 'ghosts' its hard to think of ways around this dilemna if you're the writer. This book assembles a veteran cast of Holmes writers, from Loren Estleman to Daniel Stashower plus some newcomers, namely H. Paul Jeffers, whom I've read before as a biographer, not a mystery writer. He does a good job in a classic mummy story. But most of this collection of stories are strangely inert; not much exciting ever happens. There is not a bad story among them, although Stashower's choice of a short story from S. "Sherlock Holmes vs. the Supernatural - - Misfire." according to Mike O'Connor. GHOSTS IN BAKER STREET is the third installment in Martin Greenberg's "New Tales of Sherlock Holmes" series. Methinks Greenberg went to the well once too often.The theme of this third volume centers on history's supreme rationalist tackling cases of a supernatural bent. I was skeptical of the idea but, like most Sherlock Holmes fans who are forever hoping some modern day author will recapture Doyle's lighting in a bottle, I plunked down my $16.95.Unfortunately the stories in GHOSTS IN BAKER STREET fall pretty flat. Despite some attempts to create a properly spooky atmosphere, the stories are unaffecting. The only story that made an im. "This agency stands ftat-footed" RIJU GANGULY First the objections:-1. Sherlock Holmes has become the epitome of rational and logical thinking principally because he adhered to the statement ("No ghosts need apply") firmly and unflinchingly. Several stories show him deviating from this principle grossly.2. The atmosphere of most of the stories were so stifling that I felt drowsy (extremely unlikely for Holmesian stories).Now the praises:-1. The authors try to open a few new portals to other dimensions in the Holmesian world.2. "The Adventure of the Late Ourang Otang" was fabulous.3. Most of the pastiches were well researched and good.My conclusion: enjoy it.
