READ THE REVIEWS:
From the same publisher comes Tales
of the Shadowmen: Gentlemen of the Night edited by Jean-Marc and Randy
Lofficier, an anthology of new stories about old favourites from French, British and American popular fiction.
The authors reflect this wonderful mixed heritage, including as they do Philippe Ward, Sylvie Miller, Kim Newman,
Brian M Stableford, Rick Lai and Win Scott Eckert (that’s not all of them, and in any case I shouldn't omit Jean-Louis
Trudel from Canada). It’s many decades since Maurice Leblanc decided to pit Arsène Lupin against Sherlock
Holmes, and the years since then have seen many such matches. Batman has encountered Sherlock Holmes and Judge
Dredd. At least four writers have had Holmes meet Count Dracula — one has even posited a blood relationship [sic].
And Philip Jose Farmer devised a complex and almost convincing connection between just about all the popular heroes
you can think of, including of course Sherlock Holmes. Several of the authors represented in Gentlemen
of the Night have consciously drawn on Farmer's Wold
Newton Universe. The range of sources represented in these stories is extraordinary.
Besides Leblanc and Conan Doyle, you'll find the creations of Georges Simenon, Sax Rohmer, Gaston Leroux, Dashiell
Hammett, Alexandre Dumas, Grant Allen, Jules Verne — and so the list goes on. The temporal settings generally range
from the 1870s to the 1920s, though as at least one adventure involves H G Wells’s Time Traveller, you'll appreciate
that there are exceptions. Holmes is in there, of course, in a neat little tale called Be
Seeing You! by Xavier Mauméjean, which suggests an even more intriguing
background to Patrick McGoohan's extraordinary 1960s television series The
Prisoner. As always from Black Coat Press, the book is attractive and enticing,
and these Tales of the Shadowmen are deliriously
exciting.
