The Baker Street Irregulars

De: Michael A. Ventrella - editor, Johnathan Maberry - editor

Narrado por: Graham Halstead, Steven Crossley, Saskia Maarleveld

Thirteen authors, including Gail Z. Martin, David Gerrold, and Jonathan Maberry, come together to pen short stories innovating Sherlock Holmes, adapting and revolutionizing the iconic character.

Sherlock Holmes is one of the most iconic and lasting figures in literature. His feats of detection are legendary, and he continues to capture audiences today in stories, movies, and on TV. In this new anthology, The Baker Street Irregulars, authors present the celebrated detective in more than a dozen different, wildly entertaining new ways.

In Ryk Spoor's thrilling "The Adventures of a Reluctant Detective", Sherlock is a re-creation in a holodeck. In Hildy Silverman's mesmerizing "A Scandal in the Bloodline", Sherlock is a vampire. Heidi McLaughlin sends Sherlock back to college, while Beth Patterson, in the charming "Code Cracker", turns him into a parrot.

The settings are as varied as Russia in the near-future, a dystopian world, a reality show, and an orchestra. Without losing the very qualities that make Sherlock so illustrious a character, these authors spin new webs of mystery around their own singular riff on one of literature's truly singular characters.

Fun mix of 1800s, Modern and Offbeat Stories

This is a fun collection of traditional and nontraditional Holmesian stories. The stories range from experimental to extensions of original stories. Some are better thought out than others but enjoyed finding out where each would lead. If you like that kind of varied approach, this is a good collection. If you prefer traditional pastiches, you will likely enjoy another collection better. The narration was clear, had distinct characters and was at a professional level.

Not bad

Some of these stories are quite weird and if you are under the age of 13 ask your parents to listen to it first
Some of the stories are really good and ethers are inappropriate and strange
Remember that each chapter is a completely different story and as I said befor some are really good
I hope you enjoy this book

Meh

Some of the stories were fun, but in general too contrived. The narrations were fine. I needed more of some and Less of others.

Worst of the Worst

I have never been so bored or appalled at any collection of supposed Holmes stories! This is barely coherent as it is a collection of poorly conceived ideas, idiot premises and less than stellar narration. Do not waste your time or credits for this travesty.
