First, in "Scarlet in Gaslight", the Great Detective comes face to face with the master vampire Count Dracula. A beautiful young woman is afflicted with a strange anemia, losing her blood for no apparent reason. Called in to investigate, Holmes and Watson meet the eccentric Dr. Van Helsing, a noted scientist with an obsession for the occult! In the second mystery, "A Case of Blind Fear", strange occurrences are plaguing 1895 London. A fruit vender sees an apple suspended in mid-air like a balloon, a clerk encounters a ghostly apparition, only its skeleton and internal organs visible, and a large quality of obscure drugs has been stolen from several London chemists. Then there began the murders. Murders that seem to be committed by the Invisible Man! Cover by Tim Seelig. Will appeal to readers of Ruse and The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
