The continued Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Samuel IngraldiMy rating: 2 of 5 stars In the simplest terms, too short. The so-called “resurrection” of the diabolical Professor James Moriarty has been done before (many times, in fact). Counting this short story, I have already perused three novels concerning the return of the Napoleon of Crime. […]

I am a literature geek with a Bachelor's degree in English with a writing concentration. I love to read, and I'm always itching to write, especially creatively. I started "The Writer's Library" in high school, previously working with a Blogger platform before moving over to WordPress. While I mainly post reviews of books, occasionally I will go ahead and review works in other media forms as well, such as music and certain television shows. No matter what I'm doing on here, I love to share with anyone who is willing to listen, and I'm excited to finally be on WordPress!

Review: Shadows Over Baker Street
Shadows Over Baker Street by Michael ReavesMy rating: 4 of 5 stars Please note that my rating of this book is merely the rating I gave out most often to the stories presented and does not represent the rating for every story. Those ratings make up my updates. This novel shouldn’t work. Sherlock Holmes mixing […]
The Last Sherlock Holmes Story by Michael DibdinMy rating: 3 of 5 stars The problem is sometimes preferable to the solution…. I’ve read Dust and Shadow and that novel honestly did not live up to expectations. So why did I pick up another Holmes mystery involving Jack the Ripper? Well, first of all, I’m running […]

Review: The Sherlockian
The Sherlockian by Graham MooreMy rating: 2 of 5 stars This one’s going to be difficult to review… but I shall press on… So I debated for some time over whether this novel should even be under the Project Sherlock moniker, but ultimately decided to keep it under the project because it pays homage to […]

Review: The Seven-Per-Cent Solution
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas MeyerMy rating: 4 of 5 stars What started out as a simple novel about helping Holmes to battle addiction quickly turned into a much larger struggle and I have to say that it captivated me. I pitied poor Holmes. I felt like I knew where he was coming from. I […]

New World, New Time
Open me to your arms. I am one with the sky. Were it not the auroras of night bleeding onto my arms I would be exhaling rose petals. The light is our music. The sky is our dance floor. The moon is our singer and as you trace rose petals across my cheeks I kiss […]
The Shadow of Reichenbach Falls by John R. KingMy rating: 2 of 5 stars This novel fought hard for the position as my favorite Holmes pastiche – a position that currently belongs to a novel commissioned by the Conan Doyle Estate (of which there are two books and I’m not revealing which one is my […]

Sea of Words
I am floating in a sea of words. You are there, centered among the stars. The moon is alive and breathes light into the stars. Why us? For you are twirling in the wind as the moon sings lullabies. Why us? For there is a trail of stars as l climb the twilights of night, […]

Just a quick update!
You know, I was going through my goodreads reviews under Project Sherlock and I think I’m going to create a list of the best pastiches. I think I’ll post them and invite opinions on how I rate and what even ends up getting rated. So far, I know which tribute is winning, but that could […]
Dust and Shadow: An Account of the Ripper Killings by Dr. John H. Watson by Lyndsay FayeMy rating: 3 of 5 stars Well. The crime was the of the darkest nature I’ve ever seen Holmes take on. I don’t think I’ll be able to keep anything down for a while. Joking aside, this was good, […]
