Sherlock Holmes and HP Lovecraft did not meet until 1981. They were introduced by Ralph E. Vaughan in the story "The Adventure of the Ancient Gods," first published in Holmesian Federation #4, then as a stand-alone chapbook, both of which are long out of print and command very high prices from collectors. After thirty-five years this seminal tale is again made available to readers through this book. Also included is "The Terror Out of Time," in which Sherlock Holmes works with Professor Challenger, Conan Doyle's other literary creation, to fight a Cthulhuvian horror in Edwardian London, a tale out of print for nearly a decade. Also included in this book are other stories that feature various minions of Great Cthulhu, Lovecraft's most fearsome and fantastic creation, and illuminate previously hidden or unknown aspects of Sherlock Holmes' life and character. The book is a must-read for any fan of Sherlock Holmes or HP Lovecraft.** Views: 27
