It’s good it was free
Reviewed: 12-28-24
Overall, the stories don’t feel very Holmesian. There were a few that stood out as being good, but some of them were frankly quite stupid. Throughout, I was disappointed by how little trademarked Holmes deduction there was in each story. There often wasn’t any real mystery at all, just the set up and then Holmes explaining what happened, it felt like most stories could’ve used an extra ten or twenty minutes to flesh them out further.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 110
It’s 1929 and an aging Dr. John Watson, conscious of his imminent demise, finally sits down to write a fresh chronicle disclosing the true events behind his published accounts of Sherlock Holmes’s exploits. In these pages, Sherlock Holmes and his stalwart companion encounter reanimated corpses in Highgate Cemetery; a very different, though ever elusive, Irene Adler; tales of madness and murder in the frozen wastes of the north; grotesque organic machines; and much more.

A Fitting Conclusion
Reviewed: 01-17-24
As with all the Cthulhu Casebooks, the Highgate Horrors is an excellent homage to both Conan Doyle and Lovecraft. It also serves as a satisfying conclusion to the series and a fitting tribute to the titular character.
