The Improbable Casebook of Sherlock Holmes Kindle Edition
Nick Cardillo (author of The Feats of Sherlock Holmes) presents seven improbable adventures of the World's Greatest Detective collected for the first time in one place. These tales of mystery and suspense will test the minds of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson like never before as they confront a wide array of monsters, madmen, impossible crimes, and the wildest aberrations of nature beyond their wildest nightmares.
Also included are two never-before-published short stories which chronicle some of the darkest chapters of Holmes and Watson's career. In “The Adventure of the Deadly Inheritance,” a frightened man seeks Holmes’ help after his brother suddenly disappeared performing an arcane family ritual, and in “In the Footsteps of Madness,” Holmes and Watson descend into the sewers of London to confront a bloodthirsty killer who may be more than just human.
The Improbable Casebook of Sherlock Holmes is the long-awaited second collection from an exciting new voice in the world of Sherlockian pastiche.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 December 2021The seven stories in this collection were all originally published in various issues of the MX Books of New Sherlock Holmes stories, edited by David Marcum. They feature delightfully preposterous plots that include occasional nods to other sources, such as the legend of the Golem (‘Death in the House of the Black Madonna’) and H G Wells's ‘The Island of Doctor Moreau’ (‘In the Footsteps of Madness’). The author is good at conveying the atmosphere of late nineteenth-century London, the fogs, the damp, the dark alleyways. If I found Dr Watson here a bit more fond of the ‘wee drop’ than is evident in the canon, reaching almost too readily for the brandy bottle at every opportunity, perhaps that’s because Mr Cardillo knows something more about the good Doctor’s habits than I do. All in all, ‘The Improbable Casebook’ is an entertaining set of stories to while away dark winter evenings.
