Sherlock Holmes and the Miskatonic Monstrosities

The Cthulhu Casebooks, Book 2

De: James Lovegrove

Narrado por: Dennis Kleinman

It is the spring of 1895, and more than a decade of combating eldritch entities has cost Dr. John Watson his beloved wife Mary, and has nearly broken the health of Sherlock Holmes. Yet the companions do not hesitate when they are called to the infamous Bedlam lunatic asylum, where they find an inmate speaking in R’lyehian, the language of the Old Ones. Moreover, the man is horribly scarred and has no memory of who he is.

The detectives discover that the inmate was once a scientist, a student of Miskatonic University, and one of two survivors of a doomed voyage down the Miskatonic River to capture the semi-mythical shoggoth. Yet how has he ended up in London, without his wits? And when the man is taken from Bedlam by forces beyond normal mortal comprehension, it becomes clear that there is far more to the case than one disturbed Bostonian. It is only by learning what truly happened on that fateful New England voyage that Holmes and Watson will uncover the truth, and learn who is behind the Miskatonic monstrosity....

Lovecraftian Lore ...Be afraid , very afraid....

The idea of Sherlock Holmes and his Medically competent sidekick Dr. Watson fighting the influx of Elder gods is amazingly entertaining. The vocal acting is amazing and the flow of the story is so well directed I listened in one night. Top hats off governor... loved it.

amazing

I love this series of books, im a huge lovecraft fan and a huge Sherlock Holmes fan, and putting them together is the best thing ever!

Takes a bit to come together but good when it does

First, do not listen to this book before listening to the first in the series.
If you have listened to the first, you know what you are getting here.
Warning: The author does something that Doyle and something that Lovecraft would have done in their stories that might put you off. I'm not saying what due to spoilers. I was put off a bit until I realized what happened. If you like your books linear and historically accurate you might have problems here.

Surprised by these books

I never would have thought I would like a sci-fi version of Sherlock Holmes but I find these books delightful. I’m so glad I gave them a try and have already bought the third.

Entertaining

Enjoyed this read as much as book 1. Well written and the narrator was excellent. On to the third book.

Fantastic!

once again Holmes & Watson battle the Lovecraft Elder Gods and monsters.
as a fan of both.
I can't put these books down.
well written well read.
thank you.

Excellent.

I was on the edge of my seat if you will through out this entire book. I don't believe they could have chosen a better narrator for it. It was so superbly written and executed I truly don't think I can say there was any specific part I disliked. The plot twists... Wow. Download it! You won't be disappointed.

lost confession of Dr. Watson is Amazing

to think all these years the stories of sherlock Holmes I've known and loved were utter fabrications and the truth is far more than anyone reckoned.

He’s Back!

The great Sherlock can only thrive with his antithesis, and in this volume we learn that he has a worthy enemy. Good story, good performance, if you love all things Holmes, you will enjoy this narrative.

As good as the first.

The second go of this series met me with a resounding "Watch me do it again."

I am entirely pleased with the series thus far. I am saddened to think that there is only one left. This is the type of entertainment I wish continued tripple fold or more. I will have a little hole left behind when I finish the series, that much is certain.
