SHERLOCK HOLMES LIVES ON!

 


Years before Benedict Cumberbatch and Johnny Lee Miller had a go, I wrote my first story placing Sherlock Holmes in a present day setting. Based in Las Vegas and with a strong supernatural theme, it appeared in the Edge Books anthology Gaslight Arcanum: Uncanny Tales of Sherlock Holmes.

Over the next couple of years, I then went on to write twelve more stories of that kind, taking Holmes to different cities in the States, to the Caribbean, Africa, the Far East, European capitals, and finally back home to London for his last showdown. The complete collection was published for years by Lume Books UK under the title 'The Astonishing Adventures of Sherlock Holmes in the 21st Century.'

But now it is out on Kindle, under the new title THE IMMORTAL SHERLOCK HOLMES. And it can be read on KU too.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  TONY RICHARDS' SUPERNATURAL STORIES  first started appearing in three classic long-running British series, The Fontana Book of Great Horror Stories, The Fontana Book of Great Ghost Stories and the legendary Pan Book of Horror. And it was the editor of the ghost series - Ronald Chetwynd-Hayes, no mean practitioner of dark fiction himself - who was most vocal in his praise. "I have no hesitation in saying," he wrote in the introduction to the first tale he published,  After Dark,  "that this is a brilliant story, told in a crisp, even elegant style. I regard Mr. Richards as a very welcome addition to my growing stable of authors."
