title: Sherlock Holmes: The Stuff of Nightmares
author:  James Lovegrove 
description: "If youre craving more classic Holmes with just a twist of modernity,The Stuff of Nightmares will be quite the treat." <b>- Nerdophiles</b><br /><br />"For the lover of both steampunk and Sherlock Holmes, this blend of a book is a dream come true."<b> - Geek Girl</b><br /><br />Like any good Holmes tale, I was kept guessing for most of The Stuff of Nightmares until all the clues and personal stories began to come together for a very satisfying conclusion. <b> Geek Dad</b><br /><br />An entertaining adaptation of the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle series.<b>  The Geek Girl Project</b><br /><br />Fast-paced and action-packed to the extent that putting it down wont be an option. Lovegrove has honed his craft well and brings the best to the fore in this book, making it an enticing and worthwhile read for fans of Holmes, steampunk or those simply wanting to be entertained. <b> Adventures in SciFi Publishing<br /></b><br />"a very intelligent, well-crafted novel that does justice to the characters, both Conan Doyles and Lovegroves own." <b>- Ravenous Monster<br /></b><br />"The story is skillfully crafted and wraps the reader up as tightly in Watsons narrative of the adventure as Doyles stories did." <b>- Pop Mythology</b><br /><br />"Lovegrove has clearly enjoyed his time with the great detective" <b>- Fantasy Matters<br /></b><br />"The story is well written. I know the mystery writer is a good one when I end up genuinely surprised at the twists and turns of the story. There were several things I didn't see coming, and several points that made me smile and shake my head at how clever Mr. Lovegrove is." <b>- Punkettes</b>
