Why read it?

2 authors picked Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Christian Klaver is a relatively new writer on my Sherlock Holmes radar, but his book Sherlock Holmes and Count Dracula is an entertaining one.

The style of this book is fascinating, as it’s less a novel and more a collection of interconnected short stories. As I said, I’m a big fan of Holmes and Horror, so the promise of Count Dracula was too difficult to resist. And I wasn’t disappointed.

The stories are a fun imagining of a meeting between the Great Detective and the Count and there’s even a little H.P. Lovecraft thrown in for good measure.

From Naching's list on extraordinary Sherlock Holmes stories.

I love Sherlock Holmes, I love Dracula, and I love mashups, so how could I not love this book? There are few books that I devour in mere days, but this was one of them.

It’s a beautiful marriage of well-researched Sherlock Holmes and Dracula lore, luring the supernatural into the logical and tipping the scales set by The Hound of the Baskervilles. Equal parts horror and mystery, this book’s lightning-fast pace kept the pages turning, and my interest piqued to the very end.
