Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes MY NAME IS SHERLOCK HOLMES. IT IS MY BUSINESS TO KNOW WHAT OTHERS DO NOT. In the dark lurk horrible secrets. Long buried and hidden from prying eyes are the twilight tales of the living and the dead - and those that are neither. The stink of a Paris morgue, the curve of a devil's footprint, forbidden pages torn from an infernal tome, madness in a dead woman's stare, a lost voice from beneath the waves, and the cold indifference of an insect's feeding all hold cryptic clues. From the comfort of the Seine to the chill blast of arctic winds, from candlelit monasteries to the callous and uncaring streets of Las Vegas are found arcane stories of men, monsters, and their evil...

About the Series: Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes is the third in the series following "Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes", and "Gaslight Grotesque: Nightmare Tales of Sherlock Holmes". Both of the previous editions have received critical acclaim from prominent reviewers such as National Post, Library Journal, Booklist, Globe & Mail, etc. Praise: “Star Rating: 5 –"This is a wonderful book that gets it right" As far as canonicity goes, those of you looking for traditional cases narrated by Dr. Watson may not see a horror anthology as Canonical in any way. That being said, with the exception of the Granada quote, which I fully believe was intentional, I could find no evidence of Canonical carelessness.” — The Well-Read Sherlockian “I'm a sucker for short story collections featuring Sherlock Holmes. I'm a big fan of most things having to do with one of the world's most famous fictional detectives (having enjoyed the new BBC series, Sherlock, alongside the Robert Downey Jr. films). So, it delighted me to discover Gaslight Arcanum, where the stories take Holmes, Watson, and their many companions into supernatural or otherwise extraordinary events.” — Josh Vogt “This is a gem of a collection. Fantasy fans will love it, and so wil Holmes fans.” — Paul Lappen, Dead Tress Review “On the whole the stories in Gaslight Arcanum are great fun, pitting the always super-rational detective against various forms of the supernatural.” — Douglas Barbour, Eclectric Ruckus “I have begun to read the Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes, the third in the anthology series by Campbell and Prepolec.” — Larry Feldman “In this anthology, twelve authors contribute their own stories of the great detective and the crimes he must solve. His foes include aliens, Aztecs, and even Death itself.” — Dawn Vogel Reviews: Kirkus Reviews Paul Lappan, review Eclectric Ruckus Larry Feldman Monster Librarian CM Magazine Flames Rising Tangent Sherlock Holmes Social Network Speculative Fiction Examiner Review Lawrence C.
