More Sherlock Holmes: James Lovegrove’s Sherlock Holmes: The Stuff of Nightmares is due out from Titan at
the end of the month (£7.99).
“It’s the autumn of 1890, and a spate of bombings has hit
London. The newspapers are full of fevered speculation about anarchists,
anti-monarchists and Fenians. But one man suspects an even more sinister hand
behind the violence. Sherlock Holmes believes Professor Moriarty is
orchestrating a nationwide campaign of terror, but to what end?
At the same time, a bizarrely garbed figure has been spotted
on the rooftops and in the grimy back alleys of the capital. He moves with the
extraordinary agility of a latter-day Spring-heeled Jack. He possesses weaponry
and armour of unprecedented sophistication. He is known only by the name Baron
Cauchemar, and he appears to be a scourge of crime and villainy. But is this
masked man truly the force for good that he seems? Is he connected somehow to
the bombings? Holmes and his faithful companion Dr Watson are about to embark
on one of their strangest and most exhilarating adventures yet.”
