I have a bit of a track record avoiding the Dracula/Holmes books, so it's probably my first exposure to them.Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01844617192737950378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-47742571218220173102013-04-12T00:03:44.905-04:002013-04-12T00:03:44.905-04:00A-ha!

I'll be very interested in seeing what you think of them since they're obviously not canon, but quite fun. Even if you do not care much for "Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula" by Loren D. Estleman, don't give up on his pastiches. His Sherlock Holmes meets Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde story is on of the best pastiches I have ever come across because he is able to portray Holmes and Watson brilliantly and seamlessly integrate Robert Louis Stevenson's novel into his own.<br /><br />When you get around to "The Tangled Skien" I still suggest that you try the Big Finish audio adaptation. It's where I started with their recordings, and I really cannot give it high enough praise. And while I'm on the subject of audio recordings, I have to say that I am very, very intrigued by the audio adaptation you spoke of above. It looks to me as though Audible has it affordable price - do I see a purchase in the near future?Nick Cardillohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941093024318184603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-499247432649483938.post-80152605158039641892013-04-11T02:29:12.446-04:002013-04-11T02:29:12.446-04:00I have two or three copies of Dracula, which shows...I have two or three copies of <i>Dracula</i>, which shows intend to read, but never got around to even one of them. Anyway, great idea to lay the ground work by reading the originals before tackling the pastiches. No idea why you would like to read Sherlock Holmes taking on Dracula, but hey, at least you got a plan. ;)TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.com
