Returned to London on a personal matter, the Count is quickly entangled in a web of evil that even his undead powers may not be enough to breach. Here are the secrets of THE HOLMES-DRACULA FILE....

This review is from: The Holmes-Dracula File (Paperback)
In this phenomenal hybridization, Dracula makes his 2nd visit to Victorian London (his 1st being the original Stoker novel). Here he becomes embroiled in an unpublished Sherlock Holmes adventure featuring the heretofore unseen "giant rat of Sumatra." Saberhagen stays faithful to the original characterizations of both Doyle and Stoker, and intermixes the two in a fascinating adventure which, after reading the first several chapters, you will not be able to put down. A real page turner.

Sherlock Holmes vs Dracula,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Holmes-Dracula File (Paperback)
An unexpected yet successful association. This sequel to An Old Friend of the Family is even better than the original. It gives interesting informations about how vampires are made and gives a hint to those who always wondered how Holmes manage to be so good at investigating. For those who like detective and vampire novels.

An interesting combination,
By Lavode (Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Holmes-Dracula File (Paperback)
I will state first that I'm a Stoker purist, and a fan of Holmes canon.So from this perspective, this was a very interesting read. Saberhagen is able to capture the Doyle style very effectively, and the characters are very consistent. The story is told from alternating viewpoints of Dracula and Watson, and deals with events 6 years after Dracula was "killed" in Stoker's novel. So why the two star reduction? Well, Holmes really departs from form near the end. I just didn't buy it. Also, in the middle of some of Watson's chapters, Dracula adds footnotes, which seemed a bit jarring. This seemed to make Dracula a little too omnipotent, almost like making him an editor of the book. All in all, this is a fun read, and adds the "Giant Rat of Sumatra" to the chapters of Holmsiana.
