I don't know if there has been a topic already addressing this issue (if so please feel free to redirect me there) but this is something I've been
thinking about lately.
I went by a used book store this week and came across Loren D. Estleman's Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula: The Adventure of the Sanguinary Count and Fred Saberhagen's The Holmes-Dracula Files and bought both for two dollars and am reading through the Estleman book now (almost finished).
Anyway, I read some other Holmes patiches before where the great detective is thrust into similar worlds involving supernatural/sci-fi horrors and though fun I find them rather silly since Doyle's detective was always such a rationalist and seemed to exist in a world where the supernatural did not.
Aside from the Cthulhu Mythos/Holmes anthology Shadows Over Baker Street what other noteworthy Holmes vs. the supernatural/sci-fi is there? I'm aware of two collections, Gaslight Grimoire: Fantastic Tales of Sherlock Holmes and The Improbable Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.How similar are these two (any overlapping stories?), is one better than the other or are both worth checking out?
