Review of 'Shadows Over Baker Street' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

This is an excellent collection with a very good set of stories. If you like either Sherlock Holmes, or the works of H.P. Lovecraft, then you will like this anthology. The writers capture both the traits of the great detective with the ambiance and feel of Lovecraft's mythology. This is a good book to just immerse yourself and escape reality for a while, even if it can be scary at times. The stories range from Holmes early career all the way to the time after his retirement. This is definitely one to recommend and share.
