It is the autumn of 1880, and Dr. John Watson has just returned from Afghanistan. Badly injured and desperate to forget a nightmarish expedition that left him doubting his sanity, Watson is close to destitution when he meets the extraordinary Sherlock Holmes, who is investigating a series of deaths in the Shadwell district of London. Several bodies have been found, the victims appearing to have starved to death over the course of several weeks, and yet they were reported alive and well mere days before.

It is 1890, and in the days before Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a new client. Eve Allerthorpe, eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty, is greatly distressed, as she believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit. Her late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick, and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card.

The year 1894. The monstrous Hound of the Baskervilles has been dead for five years, along with its no less monstrous owner, the naturalist Jack Stapleton. Sir Henry Baskerville is living contentedly at Baskerville Hall with his new wife, Audrey, and their three-year-old son, Harry. Until, that is, Audrey’s lifeless body is found on the moors, drained of blood. It would appear some fiendish creature is once more at large on Dartmoor and has, like its predecessor, targeted the unfortunate Baskerville family.

But, besides regular adventures, there are quite a few questions - Where was Holmes during the Great Hiatus?

The Cthulhu Mythos is one of the 20th century's most singularly recognizable literary creations. Initially created by H. P. Lovecraft and a group of his amorphous contemporaries (the so-called "Lovecraft Circle"), The Cthulhu Mythos story cycle has taken on a convoluted, cyclopean life of its own. Some of the most prodigious writers of the 20th century, and some of the most astounding writers of the 21st century have planted their seeds in this fertile soil. The Book of Cthulhu harvests the weirdest and most corpulent crop of these modern mythos tales.

Publisher's Summary
The second novel in Lois H. Gresh’s Sherlock Holmes vs. Cthulhu series
Amelia Scarcliffe’s monstrous brood, harbingers of Cthulhu, will soon spawn. Her songs spell insanity, death...and illimitable wealth. And Moriarty will do anything to get his hands on gold, even if it means tearing down the walls between this world and a realm of horrors.
Meanwhile, after Sherlock Holmes’s last tangle with the Order of Dagon, horrifying monsters haunt the Thames, and madness stalks the streets of Whitechapel. Gang war between Moriarty’s thugs and the powerful cult can only bring more terror - unless Holmes and Dr. Watson can prevent it. But can they find the cause of the neural psychoses before Watson himself succumbs?

Sherlock Holmes vs Cthulhu
Book two
The Adventure of the Neural Psychoses
By Lois H. Gresh
I wouldn’t have thought a woman would write such a disgusting H P Lovecraft Mythos book, but here it is.
It’s good.
It’s smartly written.
Perhaps Lois H. Gresh is a "Splatter-Punk / Steam-Punk" authoress?
It's extremely well narrated by Dennis Kleinman - a perfect English accent, and subdued acting for all characters. Excellent.
However, it dwells on some of the most disgusting traits of demented & diseased human beings being taken over by DAGON, or some other Lovecraftian alien-gods.
A character is dementedly & constantly picking his nose . In every scene he is in the authoress finds it necessary to describe in gross detail the bloody scabby depths to which his nose picking goes.
She goes into detailed descriptions on the violent cruelty of the baser characters’ actions until you are nauseous.
Puss squirting, purple neck flaps oozing, extra body parts wiggling, slime on slime, whale sperm saturating eggs, pregnant swollen bellies bulging N’ being clenched, bulbous lips breathing fish breath, blood spurting, cleaver chopping, gross action after action. Your head spins with a feeling of stomach churning sickness surrounding this Cthulhu incursion into the human world.
YES, this book is written well.
YES, this book is read by an excellent narrator.
YES, this book details all the gross actions involved in Cthulhu invading into our reality.
YES, this book swims WAY up-stream to a detailed female-view-point on all the sexual-spawning involved if DAGON invaded the human race.
So, grab your ticket & get your Cthulhu-Air-Sick bag ready - then fish-frog-hop onto this flight into fantasy.
I recommend this book (to those with strong stomachs).

The second is superior to the first...
I liked this installment of the series so much better than the first book. It was compelling and the ending makes me want to start the third book RIGHT NOW! The narrator (same as for the first book) was great this time, and I enjoyed the performance thoroughly. Not sure why I had my doubts after the first book, but as I mentioned in that review, I guess I just wasn't feeling the book at the time I read it. Weird. for certain. Regardless, this sequel allayed all doubts, and I will be continuing post haste.

Not so good, narrator saves the audiobook
The author replaces grossness for storytelling. Some parts of the novel have promise, but the author loses focus and with her the audience. The biggest problem I had with these series is that I first listened to James Lovegrove's Cthulu Casebooks prior to this series. And while the Cthulu Casebooks are excellently written, and do a very good job of character and world building, this series is lacking on both accounts. There is also the minor issue with the character variation between the two series. Lovegrove's Holmes and Watson were entertaining; Gresh's Holmes and Watson are irritating. Lovegrove's Moriarty is nefarious and one-step ahead; Gresh's Moriarty is petty and greedy.
The narration is perfect though.

Good read but lacks the Lovecraft feel
It lacks the mythos mystery feel. More of an action movie than mysterious horror. The asylum stuff is brutal, but again, after all it doesn't work much with the mysterious lovecraftian atmosphere, rather a sad sad story about how sick can people be (the ones that aren't actually ill). Nice listen nevertheless.

Unsubtle and rambling, it's no Conan Doyle
I love James Lovegrove's interpretations of Sherlock Holmes and Dennis Kline's narration, even if his pronunciation is s bit random. Unfortunately this book lacks the wit and style needed to carry the slow narration that typifies a Homes novel.
The terminology is not Victorian (e.g. "e-shockers") and the gratuitous violence and gore does not fit. I'm a long way into it but I realised today I wasn't enjoying listening, I'm just trying to get to the end. Now I have seen in another review that the story is not resolved I think I shall move on to something more rewarding and shan't trouble this author again.

Disappointing
I wanted so badly to be able to refute the other review of this book. Unfortunately though I can’t
These aren’t the Holmes and Watson many readers know and love. Holmes verges on being cruelly insane and while they’ve given Watson a brain infected by parasitic other worldly organisms he still misses the mark. Lestrade is made out to be completely jealous and incompetent and Moriarty, don’t get me started of the way moriarty has been written. There is nothing of the spider sitting over his intricate webs pulling strings in the back ground of this Moriarty. No. Instead he’s obsessed with gold and torturing people as well as doing his own dirty work.
The mention of e shockers and the formulas used to work them was incessant and unnecessary. The amount of detailed musings and explanations of the e shockers and electricity and formulas were unneeded and if taken out would like reduce the reading of the book by at least two hours.
I do not mind reading gore or violence however the amount in this book was gratuitous and not in the feeling of Holmes and Watson.
The unfortunate thing is that if this book had less gratuitous violence, less switching into different narrators, less never ending detail about ohms and mega ampules and this book may have actually been good. The plot was good. The execution of the writing, terrible.
Dennis Kleinman did a stellar job as usual. It’s a pity he didn’t have better to work with

Horrific
I hated this story. The relationship between Watson and Holmes once again deteriates into Watson being a fanboy of the great detective. The violence is gratuitous. The female characters are awful and the sexual overtones are off putting. The telling of the story by each of the character's is clumsy and breaks the flow of the narrative. Some of the actions of the characters seems to be inconsistent with their established norms. I appreciated the author may be research on the use of "e-shockers" but why did she need to go into such great detail about the amps/ohms and associated technical aspects of the devices? It added nothing to the story.
Dennis Kleinman's narration is wonderful. He maintains the consistency with the characters through out.

Story
The year 1894. The monstrous Hound of the Baskervilles has been dead for five years, along with its no less monstrous owner, the naturalist Jack Stapleton. Sir Henry Baskerville is living contentedly at Baskerville Hall with his new wife, Audrey, and their three-year-old son, Harry. Until, that is, Audrey’s lifeless body is found on the moors, drained of blood. It would appear some fiendish creature is once more at large on Dartmoor and has, like its predecessor, targeted the unfortunate Baskerville family.

Several bodies have been found, the victims appearing to have starved to death over the course of several weeks, and yet they were reported alive and well mere days before.

Story
It is 1890, and in the days before Christmas, Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson are visited at Baker Street by a new client. Eve Allerthorpe, eldest daughter of a grand but somewhat eccentric Yorkshire-based dynasty, is greatly distressed, as she believes she is being haunted by a demonic Christmas spirit.

What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card.

In the summer of 1994, a workman at the historic mansion of railroad baron James J. Hill in St. Paul, Minnesota, stumbles on a long-hidden wall safe. When experts arrive to open the safe and examine its contents, they make an astonishing discovery. There, inside, is a handwritten manuscript bearing the signature of John H. Watson, MD. The manuscript contains the story of how Sherlock Holmes and Watson traveled to Minnesota to track a murderous arsonist - known only as the Red Demon - who is threatening both Hill and his Great Northern Railway.
