- Book 2 of 4: Gaslight
Between the shadowy realms of fear and the unforgiving glare of science lies a battleground of unspeakable horror. In vile alleyways with blood-slick cobblestones, impenetrable fog, and the wan glow of gaslight, lurk the inhuman denizens of nightmare.
CAN REASON PREVAIL WHEN ELIMINATING THE IMPOSSIBLE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION?
Faced with his worst fears, Sherlock Holmes has his faith in the science of observation and deduction shaken to the core in 13 all-new tales of terror from today's modern masters of the macabre!

Leslie S. Klinger, Charles V. Prepolec, Stephen Volk, Lawrence C. Connolly, William Meikle, James A. Moore, William Patrick Maynard, Hayden Trenholm, Neil Jackson, Robert Lauderdale, Leigh Blackmore, Mark Morris, Simon Kurt Unsworth, Barbara Roden, J. R. Campbell.
