Deadly Things: A Collection of Mysterious Tales, Borgo Press, 2010, 149 p. (Wildside Mystery Double #2).

Two are Shakespearean mysteries, one in which King Henry V plays detective, and another based on The Two Noble Kinsmen. Three Sherlock Holmes tales involve the apparent misapplication of the Great Detective’s methods to the supernatural, a revelation of one of Watson’s unwritten cases, and a multi-genre record-breaker—an alternate history, vampire cat detective story. Great entertainment from a master storyteller.
