Salsabila Nasir bilelek — It's a very slow-moving book, and the plot takes a long time to establish itself and develop, but the writing style and the characters are so engaging that I couldn't put it down once I started in on it. It's a story about magic in England in the 1800s, at a point when magic had ceased being something people did and instead was an academic subject that people studied. Amidst all these "theoretical magicians," a practical magician named Mr. Norrell emerges on the scene and does some snazzy magic that, as a result of a bet, forces all the theoretical magicians in England to cease calling themselves magicians. Mr. Norrell slowly becomes famed throughout England and eventually takes on a student, Jonathan Strange, who has received a prophecy that he and Mr. Norrell will be rivals. They work together for a long time, but eventually the prophecy fulfills itself and the two become the leaders of rival factions of English magic. Somehow this all sounds a lot more dull than it really is when I write it all out. I found the book absolutely wonderful and was completely wrapped up in it. Highly recommended!

James Murray jimmurray332df — required reading for an ecology class in college. Life altering, really (I hate it when people say that).

Antoine Revoir growlantoine — This book moved me more than I expected. Reading his articles on modern atrocities reminded me what a thin facade a "civilized culture" is. It made me want to shed my insecurities and enjoy life more, because it could be taken in a moment. I read somewhere that the winner of a war is always the one willing to go to the lowest moral level. The stories in this book bear that theory out.

Erin Dempsey erindempsey — IVERALL: Generally creepy stories involving Holmes and monsters of some sorts. Some are pretty good, few are amazing, lots are meh. Worth the read but I prefer the companion "Gaslight Grimoire" much more. Hounded - Stephen Volk (3/5): Weird enough, slightly eerie but just didn't quite do it for me. The Death Lantern - Lawrence C. Connolly (3.5/5): Interesting reactions to watching brutality over and over again. Makes me wonder about all the violence we watch The Quality of Mercy - William Meikle (4/5): Very creepy. Forces Holmes just doesn't know how to deal with, ditto with Watson, and one man more than willing to believe it for his own sake. Emily's Kiss - James A. Moore (3/5): Again, creepy enough but I find not knowing about what happened to Watson or the family more frustrating than anything. The Tragic Case of the Child Prodigy - William Patrick Maynard (4/5): Such a sad story. Thrilling, but tragic for the titular character. The Last Windigo - Hayden Trenholm (3.5/5): And now you push my Canadian buttons. Loved the idea and loved the execution if not the end. Celeste - Neil Jackson (3/5): Creepy abandoned ships that sailors will not go near are always a bad time. Always. People need to learn this. The Best Laid Plans - Robert Lauderdale (2.5/5): Lestrade met Moriarty first apparently. I don't know, I should have liked this one but again it just didn't seem quite right to me. Exalted are the Forces of Darkness - Leigh Blackmore (4/5): This one was truer to Holmesian form than the rest. A grisly murder, magic being done improperly, and Holmes refusing to believe what has happened. Well played! The Affair of the Heart - Mark Morris (5/5): Holmes has a human heart delivered to his door and then he and Watson end up in a time portal or sorts where they figure out who the heart belongs to. Random idea but man does it work well! It's fantastic. The Hand Delivered Letter - Simon Kurt Unsworth (5/5): James Moriarty survived the falls and has a special letter, and a special fate, all ready for Holmes. Oh man is this creepy. Zombies aren't just for fun... Of the Origin of the Hound of the Baskervilles - Barbara Roden (3.5/5): The hound isn't a hound; he's a werewolf. That's essentially it. Mr. Other's Children - J.R. Campbell (3/5): creepy crawlies ahoy. Creepy.
