Honestly I will never get over this story, its such a good twist on the stories it pulls from and is always a delightful read. I reccomend it to everyone I know, so fun and it really makes you think towards the end.

A very well done short story, but it definitely pays to be very familiar with Sherlock Holmes before reading this, otherwise the twist might not work so well. Loved the concept, honestly mainly just wish there was more.

A real favourite, this story of a consulting detective and his faithful friend in Lovecraftian London pursuing the murderer of a German Crown Prince. Deliciously clever.
