Reception
British Fantasy Society called the book "one of the better" Dracula/Holmes crossovers.[6] Kirkus Reviews called it "an example of the more cautious and studied sort of pseudo-Sherlock...Not that the purist approach makes Estleman's academic, short-story-sized notion any more prepossessing."[7]

Estleman's novel was adapted for BBC Radio in 1981.[1][8] It has since been rebroadcast numerous times.[9]
