Your Halloween Indulgence Awaits: ENJOY 3 FOR 2
This week, we're extending our 3 for 2 offer across this chilling collection. Furthermore, we've added some complimentary audio codes from our ghostly gallery of Sherlock Holmes tales, so you can listen to the mysteries unfold as the darkness gathers. Our special selection ventures deep into the realms of The Grim and The Supernatural. With over 80 titles to choose from, we've organised this chilling collection into three distinct thematic sections:
1. Dark Fantasy and Extreme Science Fiction
This realm features high-stakes mysteries involving dark fantasy, forbidden science, and crossovers that challenge the very nature of Holmes and his world. This is where the impossible becomes the immediate threat. Dive into the complete "Shadow" trilogy by Tracy Revels—Shadowblood, Shadowfall, and Shadowwraith—which may begin at the familiar Baker Street hearth but quickly plunge Holmes and Watson into a world of magic and Holmes's own Shadowborn heritage. This high-concept category also includes Stephen Seitz's terrifying Sherlock Holmes and The House of Pain, a novel that confronts Holmes with science gone mad and creatures straight out of the imagination of H.G. Wells. Furthermore, confront the ultimate creature of forbidden science in Sherlock Holmes and The Horror of Frankenstein.
2. Spectral Sightings and Hallowed Ground
Journey to haunted locations where the veil between the living and the dead is thin. These cases explore restless spirits, unhallowed disturbances, and literal ghosts that compel Holmes to apply logic to what seems like pure delusion. Explore the humorous yet haunting side of spectral encounters in Harry DeMaio’s The Glamorous Ghost series, and even lighter paranormal comedy in the Dean Wilkinson’s Sheerluck Holmes books. You can also delve into traditional ghost-focused tales like The Ghost At The Window or venture into the atmospheric dread of In Unhallowed Rest – A Sherlock Holmes Adventure, where the dead refuse to rest.
3. 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. Follow Holmes as he attempts to unravel the terrifying "London Tarot Killings" in Viktor Messick's Sherlock Holmes and A Hole In The Devil's Tail, a conspiracy stretching from the highest society to the lowest backstreets. Track a frightening serial killer in The Phantom Killer, or find grim urban mysteries with a pervasive sense of dread in titles like Sherlock Holmes and The Thames Murders.
Don't let this eerie-sistible offer vanish like a ghost in the fog! Just add the promo code "Halloween" at checkout. This offer applies to ALL multiples of 3! So, whether you stack up on 3, 6, or even 9 titles, you'll only pay for two-thirds of your selection.
