Thank you for having joined us for "A Fortnight on Baker Street".  We have very much enjoyed meeting with the authors and the editors, etc. over this last two weeks.  Although the Fortnight event has officially ended, we will be still be posting answers from some of the authors who have not been able to yet join us and look forward to having a very special conversation with Joan Spicci Saberhagen, widow of Fred Saberhagen, who is managing his literary estate.

Gaslight Arcanum:
Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes



MY NAME IS SHERLOCK HOLMES.
IT IS MY BUSINESS TO KNOW WHAT OTHERS DO NOT.

In the dark lurk horrible secrets. Long buried and hidden from prying eyes are the twilight tales of the living and the dead - and those that are neither. The stink of a Paris morgue, the curve of a devil's footprint, forbidden pages torn from an infernal tome, madness in a dead woman's stare, a lost voice from beneath the waves and the cold indifference of an insect's feeding all hold cryptic clues. From the comfort of the Seine to the chill blast of arctic winds, from candlelit monasteries to the callous and uncaring streets of Las Vegas are found arcane stories of men, monsters and their evil...
