Frankly, he couldn't deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalalwart companion. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety and save him from a gruesome death every now and again"--Amazon.com.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Sherlock</b> <b>Holmes</b> is an unparalleled genius. <b>Warlock</b> <b>Holmes</b> is an idiot.

And when I say funny, I mean I actually laughed out loud on several occasions." - Newbery and Beyond <p/>While cast and settings are faithful to the original stories, Denning upends the narrative with a host of paranormal turns that range from the irreverent to the gruesome. Mashup fans will be eagerly awaiting more of this obvious match for fans of Seth Grahame-Smith. - <i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Damn you, G.S. Denning! Damn you, sir, for tainting the Great Detective with your parodic fripperies and your supernatural folderols! There is a special place in Holmesian hell reserved for impudent whelps such as yourself - and I shall languish there alongside you for the sin of having read your book and laughed like a loon throughout." - James Lovegrove, <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author of <i>The Age of Odin</i> <p/> "What if Sherlock Holmes wasn't a brilliant detective, but an awkward magician with prophetic fits? What if Scotland Yard was staffed by vampires and ogres? And above all, what if it was funny? <i>Warlock Holmes</i> should have you from the title alone, but if it doesn't, know that it's full of charm, humor and demons. Lots of demons." - Robert Brockway, author of <i>The Unnoticeables</i> <p/> Irreverent, hilarious and a ripping good yarn to boot. A must for all those who like their Holmes on the wilder side. - George Mann, author of <i>Sherlock Holmes: The Spirit Box</i> <p/> With more twists than a Victorian corset, this is Sherlock for the mash-up generation. Tongue-in-cheek, knowing tales, with dollops of <i>Penny Dreadful </i>and a side salad of <i>Atlantis</i>." - William Sutton, author of <i>Lawless and the Devil of Euston Square <p/></i>"Warlock Holmes: A Study in Brimstone is charming and excellent entertainment! It's a deliciously entertaining reading experience." - Rising Shadow <p/>"A good classic read filled with quirky characters, a supernatural touch, and a dash of mysterious murders and peculiar instances." - Gamers Sphere <p/>"Adapts classic Sherlock Holmes tales in a way that stays true to the source, but also enjoys itself the whole time" - Hey Poor Player <p/>"The illustrations by Sean Patella-Buckley throughout the novel were epic...If you are looking for a hilarious collection of magical and adventurous mysteries, then this is the novel for you." - Geek Hard <p/>"In the age of mash-ups, I found this book to be so much fun and reminded me just why I love reading so much." - From Girlie to Nerdy <p/> "Quirky, funny, and clever" - Vivacious Hobo <p/><i>All in all, I had a wonderful time with this book, and boy am I glad to have the sequel Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles already on hand because I'm really looking forward to continuing this series. 4.5/5</i> - Biblio Sanctum <p/> "The hijinks feel refreshed and the references renew my interest in reading the originals, which is some of the highest praise I can give to any homage" The Frumious Consortium <p/>"Denning peppers his hilarious stories with plenty of Holmesian callbacks and Douglas Adams-worthy puns...It's charming and well-imagined and rewards longtime fans with plenty of great details." - Barnes & Noble SFF Blog<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>G.S.
