Sherlock Holmes a Shadwellské stíny – Lovegrove James (2024)

We have bad news for you. Everything you have ever read about Sherlock Holmes was a lie. A lie written with the best intentions, yet still a lie. ***** Doctor John Watson, Holmes's loyal companion, did not want the world to know the truth; because such a truth would reveal too much, too many realities about the forces beyond our world, about creatures that defy the laws of nature and logic. ***** Now, however, you have the opportunity to read how it really was. What was the true nature of the injury that Doctor Watson suffered in Afghanistan? Who is murdering the poor in London's Shadwell district? A disgraced doctor, a Chinese opium trader, or something entirely different? And who the hell stole the rare copy of the Necronomicon from the British Museum? ***** James Lovegrove depicts an alternative world where the stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle intertwine with the horrors of H. P. Lovecraft, complementing each other like yin and yang. Rationality against absurdity. Reason against madness. ***** And – in this first part of the trilogy especially – light against shadows.
