Sherlock Holmes and the Miskatonic Monstrosities is a
mystery novel by James Lovegrove. It is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche that involves H. P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos.[1] It is the second book in the Cthulhu Casebooks trilogy, with the first novel, Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows, having been released a year previously.[2]
Plot
15 years after the events of the Miskatonic University in New England and more experiences with eldritch horrors in London.
Reception
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's A Study in Scarlet and The Valley of Fear.[3] Bob Byrne for Black Gate was less enthused about this novel than he was about the previous book in the trilogy[4] saying "Fully one-third of this novel has nothing to do with Holmes or Watson" and "Watson seems particularly harsh towards Holmes in this book".[4]
