Publisher's summary

"If you ever wondered how much better Sherlock would be if people could hurl hellfire at each other, well this one is for you." (Starburst Magazine on A Study in Brimstone)

Warlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson find themselves inconvenienced by a variety of eldritch beings, and the fact that one of them has goat legs. Christmas brings a goose that doesn't let being cooked slow him down, then they meet an electricity demon and discover why being a redhead is even trickier than one might imagine, and Holmes attempts an Irish accent. And naturally Moriarty is hanging around in some form or other.

Delightfully funny

G.S.Denning has really found his stride with Warlock and D. Watson. My husband kept wondering why I was chuckling.

Awesome!

Once again this duo brings together the perfect written word and masterfully narrated tale of Holmes and Watson!! I wish all of my books were narrated by Robert Garson! I can’t wait for the next Warlock misadventure!

The world expands

Denning starts building the world out here, and it’s great. Along with the great comedy we’ve already seen, the mythology takes on new depth and importance, and we meet his version of Irene Adler, his best villain.

Cunning Collection of Reimagined Classics 6/5 Star

Having read and reread, listened and relistened to and fallen in love time and time again with the masterful minds and timeless partnership of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, I was absolutely delighted in stumbling upon this gem of a series penned by G.S. Dennings. The self-described world's first consulting detective finds himself recreated as an absolutely fantastic new character as Sherlock turned Warlock. This series retells the classic stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in a fantastic and wonderful way.

If you have a taste for comedic fantasy novels and are a fan of Sherlock and Watson, this is a must have series. The narration by Robert Garson is an absolutely top notch performance with perfect timing and charming character voices that are uniquely voiced bringing life to every character in the stories. Out of the countless reproductions made of Sherlock and Watson's adventures, this collection is hands down one of the most entertaining and original ideas of what has emerged in the last century. The classics of Doyle are clearly the source material which Dennings makes obviously clear by keeping the titles of most stories either unchanged or subtle adjustments to better fit his Holmes' world.

**WARNING:. Beyond this point spoilers and hints at the plot and key story concepts may be exposed in this review. I have attempted to not reveal any significant details but fair warning should be given for anyone hoping to not have anything revealed.**

Warlock Holmes is quite the opposite of his namesake. A bumbling buffoon with the common sense of a brick, Warlock Holmes is a heartwarming charming idiot. His naive rose tinted view of humanity in late 19th century England is somehow irresistibly hilarious.

Rather than being a genius of deduction observation and analysis, Warlock Holmes is just what his name suggests, a warlock with a mastery of demonic magics. He possesses immense eldritch powers in occult wizardry calling upon the forces surrounding the everyday world veiled just beyond perception of the everyday human. Despite having access to a seemingly endless font of power with endless potential, Warlock brandishes his power with hesitance and a reverence for the pricey cost of using his magical powers.

It is best understood that the magic he can access is not his own to harness but rather be borrowed from the demons, spirits, and otherworldly creatures just beyond the cross dimensional thread. With this in mind Warlock holds back from diving right into using his magic unless no alternative can be used in solving the various cases brought to him for solving.

With Warlock Holmes replacing the core concept of Sherlock Holmes, it falls upon Dr. John Watson to take up the slack as the brilliant detective and master of deduction. Moriarty once again emerges as a devious mastermind and nemesis that threatens not only our heroes but humanity, civilization, society, and life on earth as we know it. All the other familiar faces of Doyle's masterwork appear with fantastic new takes.

Humorous adventures.... Continued

Denning &. Garson deliver the wit and creative duo and usual cast of characters, demons, and LOL dialogue that I love. The story "crayoned" by Warlock is brilliant, as is the whole book. Definitely worth the wait for pre-order.

Great Stories

Robert Garson, you can come and read anything to me every night. You give credulity to the era and the characters. But what is a great narrator without a great story? I hope we continue to hear of Warlock and Dr. Watson's adventures and especially regarding 'the woman'.
