Seller's Description:
Fine in Fine jacket. Book A collection of adventures and mystery stories featuring the inimitable sleuth Sherlock Holmes encompasses fifteen tales written by Morgan Llywelyn, Richard Lupoff, Mike Resnick, Craig Shaw Gardner, Edward D. Hoch, and others. Kaye (The Game Is Afoot; Fantastique) builds this collection on the premise that prominent authors, e.g., Theodore Dreiser, P.G. Wodehouse, Dashiell Hammett and Edgar Rice Burroughs, were hired by a reclusive collector to make sense of the case notes left by Watson in his tin dispatch box. Kaye has asked contemporary authors to write in the style of genre forbears. Thus, Paula Volsky writes the dramatic "The Giant Rat of Sumatra" in the style of Lovecraft; Mike Resnick the hilarious "Mrs. Vamberry Takes a Trip" as Thorne Smith and tales as written by Ernest Hemingway (Morgan Llywelyn), Ellery Queen (Edward D. Hoch), W Somerset Maugham (Henry Slesar), Mickey Spillane (William L. DeAndrea), Jack Kerouac (Richard A. Lupoff), Edgar Rice Burroughs (Craig Shaw Gardner), and Rex Stout (Marvin Kaye), among others. style is well-crafted, with the authors adroitly capturing the feel of their models.
