and vividly renders the atmosphere of Victorian London." - The
Guardian
"[A] crossover tale for the ages that's bound to please fans of
both literary canons." - Starburst Magazine

rich [and] vivid prose." - SFX Magazine

Casebooks is a lot of fun." - Times Literary Supplement

"If you're a fan of Sherlock Holmes, H.P. Lovecraft, or simply love
the mashup literature culture that seems to be taking bookshelves
by storm these days, Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows is
certainly a...wonderful read!" - Hey Poor Player
"extremely enjoyable" - Geek Dad
"A must-read" - Bio Gamer Girl
"Lovegrove does an outstanding job of evoking Doyle's style and
mixing in healthy dollops of the macabre and fantastic that define
the Cthulhu Mythos....Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows sets
a pretty high bar. I look forward to seeing Lovegrove meet it with
future installments." San Francisco Book Review (4/5 star)
"What's great about these books is that Holmes and Watson aren't so
much reimagined as their context is reinvented; Lovegrove has a lot
of fun peering at the classic mysteries through this terrifying new
lens, completely distorting the canon and leaving you to decide
which universe was "real" and which was just "fiction."" - Barnes &
Noble mini review
