Apr. 1st, 2020 09:24 amThings I just this minute learned: there is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche novel that is a crossover with The Cabinet of Dr Caligari.
a) WHAT
b) I checked it out from the library immediately, of course, what do you think I am? Thank god for library ebooks and having cards at four different libraries, that's all I can say.
c) There was a brief moment where I was reading the blurb and got Dr Caligari and Dr Mabuse mixed up in my mind (German, silent films, hypnotists), and now I do very much want a Holmes vs Dr Mabuse novel
c.1) (I mean, I guess that does exist sort of, except it's The Hound of the D'Urbervilles and is Moriarty vs Dr Mabuse and also that book is pretty great and I should maybe reread it)
d) Actually, no, what I really really want is Sherlock Holmes vs Fantomas. Is that a thing? Someone would have told me if that was a thing, right? Can I pay someone to make that a thing?
e) I should probably read more Fantomas
