It is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche that involves H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.[1] It is the first book in a planned trilogy of The Cthulhu Casebooks with the second novel, Sherlock Holmes and the Miskatonic Monstrosities, having been released in November 2017[2] and the third, Sherlock Holmes and the Sussex Sea-Devils, in November 2018.[3] PlotA series of mysterious deaths inspire Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson to investigate the criminal element of the East End of London. Their investigation leads to crime lord Gong-Fen Shou but further opens their eyes to the existence of something much worse. ReceptionReviewers have praised Lovegrove's use of Doyle's characters within a Lovecraftian conceit. Glenn Dallas of Seattle Book Review said "Lovegrove does an outstanding job of evoking Doyle’s style and mixing in healthy dollops of the macabre and fantastic that define the Cthulhu Mythos."[4] The Guardian said of the novel, "The pastiche is pitch-perfect; Lovegrove tells a thrilling tale and vividly renders the atmosphere of Victorian London."[5] Starburst magazine said of the book "It retains the spirit of classic Holmes, while the integration of Lovecraft mythos is handled with careful aplomb."[1] Bob Byrne for Black Gate said "If you like your Holmes with some horror: or if you like Cthulhu tales, I think you are going to like this book."[6] Byrne particularly liked that Lovegrove showed a "unpolished Holmes" early in his career.[6] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=The Cthulhu Casebooks – Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows|url=https://www.starburstmagazine.com/reviews/sherlock-holmes-shadwell-shadows-review|work=Starburst|date=|accessdate=December 30, 2017}} {{Sherlock Holmes by others}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows}}2. ^{{cite web|title=Sherlock Holmes and the Miskatonic Monstrosities|url=https://titanbooks.com/the-cthulhu-casebooks-sherlock-holmes-and-the-miskatonic-monstrosities-8100/|work=Titan Books|accessdate=December 30, 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|last=Brown|first=Eric|title=The best recent science fiction, fantasy and horror – reviews roundup |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2018/nov/09/the-best-recent-science-fiction-fantasy-and-horror-reviews-roundup|work=The Guardian|date=November 9, 2018|accessdate=December 2, 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|last=Dallas|first=Glenn|title=The Cthulhu Casebooks – Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows|url=https://seattlebookreview.com/product/the-cthulhu-casebooks-sherlock-holmes-and-the-shadwell-shadows/|work=Seattle Book Review|date=|accessdate=December 30, 2017}} 5. ^{{cite web|last=Brown|first=Eric|title=The best recent science fiction, fantasy and horror novels – reviews roundup |url=https://www.theguardian.com/books/2017/feb/03/the-best-recent-science-fiction-fantasy-and-horror-novels-reviews-roundup|work=The Guardian|date=February 3, 2017|accessdate=December 30, 2017}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|last=Byrne|first=Bob|title=The Public Life of Sherlock Holmes: Cthulhu Casebooks & Nightmares|url=https://www.blackgate.com/2016/12/26/the-public-life-of-sherlock-holmes-cthulhu-casebooks-nightmares/|work=Black Gate|date=December 26, 2016|accessdate=December 30, 2017}} 4 : 2016 British novels|Sherlock Holmes novels|Sherlock Holmes pastiches|Novels set in England |
