Shadows Over Baker Street

I loved Shadows Over Baker Street. Though some of the stories weren't as great as others I think they all conveyed a real feeling that Lovecraft's world was in always lurking in the shadows of Doyle's world. Despite knowing there would be a supernatural element to each story I found myself suspending disbelief, thinking that it would be a normal Holmes story. Now that I finished this book I don't think I'll be able to read a Doyle penned Holmes story now without considering there will be something horrible and unexplainable around the corner.

A couple of other thoughts:

* The short story format is a good choice, considering both Doyle's and Lovecraft's work was in the same format.
* The characters from both works (Chthulu, Moriarty) are emphasized more in these books than in the original authors creations, it's a bit heavy handed and feels more kool-aid to the original 100% juice.
* There were quite a few typographic errors toward the end of the book. I didn't feel they detracted enough to reduce the rating though.
* If you are a fan of both genres then this is a terrific book. Definitely pick it up.
