Giveaway: Win the Warlock Holmes Trio!
We are delighted to be partnering with Titan Books to be offering you not one, not two, but THREE Warlock Holmes books by G.S. Denning! My Grave Ritual is the latest in the series of a re-telling of the classic Sherlock Holmes stories with a magical twist. Behold, a dim witted but brilliant arcanist Warlock Holmes, a vampiric Lestrade, and the true detective… Dr. Watson.
These stories are delightfully quirky and fun and we can’t wait to share them with you! But first! Here’s some synopses for you.
A Study in Brimstone
Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius who uses the gift of deduction and reason to solve the most vexing of crimes.
Warlock Holmes, however, is an idiot. A good man, perhaps; a font of arcane power, certainly. But he’s brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn’t deduce his way out of a paper bag. The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart flatmate. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety… and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.
An imaginative, irreverent and addictive reimagining of the world’s favourite detective, Warlock Holmes retains the charm, tone and feel of the original stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle while finally giving the flat at 221b Baker Street what it’s been missing for all these years: an alchemy table.
Reimagining six stories, this riotous mash-up is a glorious new take on the ever-popular Sherlock Holmes myth, featuring the vampire Inspector Vladislav Lestrade, the ogre Inspector Torg Grogsson, and Dr. Watson, the true detective at 221b. And Sherlock. A warlock.
The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles
The game’s afoot once more as Holmes and Watson face off against Moriarty’s gang, the Pinkertons, flesh-eating horses, a parliament of imps, boredom, Surrey, a disappointing butler demon, a succubus, a wicked lord, an overly-Canadian lord, a tricycle-fight to the death and the dreaded Pumpcrow. Oh, and a hell hound, one assumes.
My Grave Ritual
As they blunder towards doom, Warlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson find themselves inconvenienced by a variety of eldritch beings. Christmas brings a goose that doesn’t let being cooked slow it down; they meet an electricity demon, 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.

I am curious about these—I’m torn between whether a zombie goose or an overly Canadian lord sounds more exciting. And I have wanted more vampire Lestrade ever since first reading Anno Dracula. Can I be equally excited for all three?
Super excited about these titles!!
This look amazing! I love how creative the Sherlock world can be!!
The humor in these are in my wheelhouse. Excited to read the third!
‘A Study in Brimstone’ appeals to me, as it is a collection of six short stories.
I am curious for ALL of the three books, since I am entirely new to the series. What intrigues me is a VAMPIRE Lestrade, and of course, I always appreciate when there are more Watson kudos thrown into the mix!
They all sound very exciting!
I’m dying to read A Grave Ritual …. Christmas , Goose, demons and Moriarty – sign me up
I’ve been interested in reading more of this series ever since I borrowed the first book from the local library. I’m definitely looking forward to the Hell Hound of the Baskervilles!
I would love to read Hellhound of the Baskervilles……one of my favorite stories plus flesh eating horses? hard to say no to that.
I love anything Holmes and this take onbthe story sounds intriguing.
Brad Keefauver in his blog “Warlock Holmes to the rescue!” http://sherlockpeoria.blogspot.com/2018/05/warlock-holmes-to-rescue.html has peaked my curiosity.
I’m hearing very good things about this series.
I’ll try my hand for a chance at winning A Study in Brimstone :D
I’m tied between Hellhound and Grave. Is excited for both a valid answer?
