In Sf-book Forum pointed Armin Roessler on a new short story about Dr. Nikola .
Funny detail: in the anthology Shadows Over Baker Street, edited by Michael Reaves and John Pelan (2005 published by Bastion-Lübbe, in the original "Shadows over Baker Street, 2003), Sherlock Holmes a mysterious temple in Lovecraft's Worlds send (which it is not everything ...), Doctor Nikola has a guest appearance. namely in the story "The Mystery of the Worm" ("The Mystery of the Worm") of Co-editor John Pelan, who plays in 1894 .
I could not resist the temptation and had my story to heart out. A very interesting duel between Holmes and Nikola. It appears all that Boothby was established in the Nikola novels: Nikolas anatomical experiments, spiced his quest for immortality, his quest for world domination, the whole with a dash of Lovecraft and Holmes ability in the most absurd things conclusions. Really worth reading.
Said anthology opens the way with "A Study in Emerald" by Neil Gaiman. The English original A Study in Emerald is also found on the homepage of the author for free download. Here we meet Holmes in an alternate Victorian world of the Big Love Crafts Old is governed. Everything here is different, and not as it thought at the beginning ...
way, I'm here pointed to another meeting between Holmes and Dr. Nikola.
