Sherlock Holmes and Cthulu

[jonesy]

I actually thought the first story was not very good. (Heh, which apparently got my review panned - Neil Gaiman fans are even worse than MacGuyver fans.). For one, it clearly wasn't really Lovecraftian or Holmesian, it was set on an alternate earth quite different than our earth.

It's the way it is because of Gaimans reasoning for it: How do you mix a world of unknowable mysteries with a character to whom nothing is a mystery? Twist the whole thing around so that the mystery solver himself is the mystery and his opposition isn't all-knowing.

Still, back when I read the book I thought the story would have worked a lot better as the last one.
