Thank Holmes It's Friday - Oct 31st - Halloween Today
The veil between worlds is thin, the pumpkin lanterns glow, and yes—it's time for another instalment of Thanks Holmes it's Friday!
In honour of All Hallows' Eve, we've crept into the darkest corners of our archives to unearth a truly haunting set of mysteries for this week's 3 for 2 offer. Prepare to confront chilling séances, spectral sightings, and the insidious secrets that lurk in the city's shadowy alleys. Holmes' razor-sharp genius is your only protection as you brave these most perplexing and spine-tingling cases.
From Gaslight to Ghostlight: A New Haunting Begins
Get ready for Ian Jarvis’s latest novel, Persian or Persians Unknown, a book that drags the spirit of Holmes straight into the modern-day world of ghosts and ghastly threats. At the heart of it is Bernie Quist—a consultant detective whose analytical genius is matched only by his familiarity with the terrifying forces that lurk beyond the light. Alongside his streetwise assistant, Watson, this mismatched duo operates from their agency on York's very own Baker Avenue, tackling cases too strange, too otherworldly, for any normal investigator.
Don't wait for the specters to claim this unique novel! Back the kickstarter campaign now.
And if you can't wait to see more of Quist and Watson, the campaign also offers a chance to catch up on the five earlier novels—including Judgment Clay (a confrontation with white supremacists and a terrifying supernatural weapon) and The Rumba of the Beast (a tale of gruesome murders and black magic).
While Bernie Quist masterfully handles the modern impossible, our Halloween collection doesn't end there. Dive back into the shadows and explore three curated categories: Dark Fantasy and Extreme Science Fiction, Spectral Sightings and Hallowed Ground, and the best of Gothic Horror: Macabre Urban Crimes & Classic Monsters. There's a spine-tingling read for every taste.
Dark Fantasy and Extreme Science Fiction
This category plunges Holmes and Watson into high-stakes mysteries involving dark fantasy, forbidden science, and reality-bending crossovers. This is where the impossible becomes the immediate threat. Featured books include the complete "Shadow" trilogy by Tracy Revels, which explores Holmes's own magical heritage. Also confront mad science in Stephen Seitz's Sherlock Holmes and The House of Pain, and the ultimate creature of forbidden science in Sherlock Holmes and The Horror of Frankenstein.
Spectral Sightings and Hallowed Ground
Journey to haunted locations where Holmes applies logic to literal ghosts and restless spirits. This realm features the humorous Glamorous Ghost series by Harry DeMaio and Dean Wilkinson's lighter paranormal comedy, alongside atmospheric tales like The Ghost At The Window and In Unhallowed Rest.
Gothic Horror: Macabre Urban Crimes & Classic Monsters
Confront the gruesome realities of the gaslight era. This group focuses on terrifying figures of classic horror and shockingly macabre urban crimes—from the Tarot Killings to the sinister specter of Jack the Ripper. Featured titles include Viktor Messick's Sherlock Holmes and A Hole In The Devil's Tail (The Tarot Killings), The Phantom Killer, and Sherlock Holmes and The Thames Murders.
