sherlock holmes

Thanks in part to stardustdarling, I am currently smitten by Sherlock Holmes. To those people who only know me for my pretty vintage icons and posts of beautiful women in 19th century haute couture, you may be a little surprised because, when it comes down to it, a lot of the Holmes stories are very dark. They involve murder, scandal and villainy of all kinds.

I need to start getting into Sherlock Holmes.

Ooh, I'm likin' the pictures. I've been a long-time reader of Sherlock Holmes, too. To this day The Hound of the Baskervilles gives me shivers, in a way that very few things ever have.

I love Sherlock Holmes, though I haven't read any of the stories for a long time. But I always loved the mystery, and then at the end Holmes would matter of factly and in detail tell you how he figured out the case. Really cool.

I love Holmes. And if you want dark and mysterious, may I suggest "The Monks of Monk Hall" by George Lippard. Written in 1844, lots of dark, lots of villainy.

Ahhh, thank you! I love book recommendations :)
