More from Airship 27!

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Volume 8 by IA Watson, Aaron Smith, and Raymond Lovato

The latest volume of this continuing series from Airship 27 features three novellas of Sherlock Holmes by modern pulp authors. In these stories, Holmes is up against seemingly impossible cases. There is a hint of the uncanny, perhaps the supernatural. But Holmes stands firm on scienceâno ghosts need apply!

âMysteries of the Buried Godâ by IA Watson

Excavations beneath the small, obscure church of St. Edith-in the-field in a bystreet off of Fleet Street, London have disclosed a hidden crypt. Inside is the long dead body of a man. Seated upon a stone chair, his remains are shackled to the massive rock. There is a sword driven through the remains.

The problem is that the crypt was sealed from the inside. As there seems to be no exit, how was this accomplished? The crypt appears to show signs of being a temple to Mithris, one of several that would prove to be discovered in the future. Add this to the fact that the Professor in charge of the dig has gone missing, and you have a case for Sherlock Holmes.

I found the story well written and interesting. I give it four stars.

âThe Adventure of the Charwick Ghostâ by Raymond Lovato

Inspector Lestrade brings this case to 221B. Vice Admiral Charwick is discovered murdered inside his locked study. There is no apparent way that an intruder could get in as the study is on the upper floor. A window is found unlatched, but there are no marks of a ladder being used, and the length required would be very heavy to carry.

There are tales of a family curse and legendâThe Charwick Ghost. Holmes refuses to believe in the supernatural, and seeks a more mundane answer. There is the ner-do-well nephew who turns up at once looking for an inheritance to pay off his gambling debts. There is also a group of Gypsies that were thrown of the property by the Police recently. And there is the tale of a young Gypsy boy who saw fairies and a giant with disappearing horses coming through the woodsâ

The story moves at break-neck pace and is really quite good. I give it four stars.

âThe Adventure of the Vampireâs Vengeanceâ by Aaron Smith

Inspector Gregson brings this case to Sherlock Holmes.
