Im happy to think that both of them would have greatly enjoyed Christian Klavers exuberant, reverent mashup of their two best-known characters."James Lovegrove, author of The Cthulhu Casebooks"A great start to a new series. Klaver knows his Holmes - and his Dracula - and tells a compelling tale that will delight all fans of Holmes and things horrific."Eric Brown, author of The Martian Menace"This is wonderful storytelling - bold; filled with energy and knowledge - which grabs the reader by the lapels of his or her smoking jacket and drags them merrily into the adventure. Doyles voice is recaptured and slyly modernised. I cant wait to read the next instalment in what promises to be a supremely witty and dynamic sequence of stories." J.S. Barnes, author of Draculas Child and The City of Dr Moreau"A scintillating mash-up of the two big names in Victorian mystery and horror... Put your feet up, light your pipe, pour yourself a nice cup of warm blood, and enjoy."Philip Purser-Hallard, author of Sherlock Holmes: The Vanishing Man"I honestly couldnt put it down... Youll hold your breath, I promise. Its quite simply the most believable Holmes/fantasy crossover Ive ever read"Age of Steam"Whats most remarkable about this story is the degree of authenticity Klaver gives it-it reads just like a story by Doyle... exciting and refreshingly unpredictable"Heath Lowrance"Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula has a 1940s B-movie ring to it, but its a sprightly romp paying tribute to the classics." Peterborough Telegraph Review"A supernatural mystery to shiver the timbers... Good page turning stuff." Frost Magazine"Sherlock Holmes & Count Dracula by Christian Klaver is the ultimate mash-up." Shots Magazine"An incredibly imaginative new take on these characters, and Klaver not only brings a fresh spin to Holmes and Watson, but the Dracula mythos too. It establishes a bold new status quo for the worlds greatest detective, one that I cant wait to see more of in future volumes." Trans-scribe Review"It is lovely to read a book and to realise that you must be having as much fun reading the story as the author had writing it. This is a fine addition to the fantasy worlds take on Holmes. Curl up in a comfy chair on a dark night with a suitable beverage and enjoy yourself!" Runalong the Shelves Review"Refreshingly original, inherently fascinating, impressively entertaining, deftly crafted, and a thoroughly compelling read from first page to last." -Midwest Book ReviewMore praise for Christian Klaver"Klavers worldbuilding is immersive... with a thrilling pace"KIRKUS"Rich, lyrical descriptions augment the fantastical source material in this engaging series starter"PUBLISHERS WEEKLY"This is your cold, wintry evening curl up with a book novel.
