Book Reviews of Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine #1
Book Review: "Not devoid of several points of interest..."
Summary: 5 Stars
Volume 1, Number 1 of the "Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine" deserves to be lapped up by collectors of Sherlockiana/Holmesiana as well as lay readers. The items included in this issue are:
1. "From Watson's Scrapbook": An "Editorial" by John H. Watson, M.D.
2. "Baker Street Browsings" by Kim Newman, where he reviews the first two volumes of the "The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes: The Complete Short Stories (2 Vol. Set)" edited by Leslie S. Klinger (with inevitable comparison with the awesome work done by William Baring Gould), and "Sherlock Holmes: The Hidden Years" edited by Michael Kurland.
3. "The Screen of the Crime" by Lenny Picker, where he discusses almost all the major film-versions of "The Hound of Baskervilles", and tries to identify the different lacunae that had deprived them of the magic that had been sought to be created.
4. "Ask Mrs. Hudson": a hilarious "agony column" where Mrs. Hudson deals with different vexing issues posed by distressed letter-writers.
5. "SHMM Speaks with Ron Goulart": an interview of Ron Goulart, conducted by Carol Bugge(both being eminent writers, esp. of Holmesian pastiches).
6. "The Strange Case of the Haunted Freighter": A top-notch pastiche by Carol Bugge.
7. "The Mystery of the Missing Automaton":a brilliant (non Holmes) 'Harry Challenge' story by Ron Goulart.
8. "The Bet": a murder mystery by Marc Bilgrey.
9. "The Automaton Museum":a superb story by the ever-credible Edward D. Hoch.
10. "On the Heir": an excellent story by 'Hal Charles' (Hal Blythe and Charlie Sweet).
11. "Lost and Found": a postumous work by Jean Paiva.
12. "Gloria Scott" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, as a "Sherlock Holmes Classic" (a most worthy gesture, since such magazines tend to disregard the canonical works ever so slightly).
Overall, this advance issue has been a real pleasure and a powerful appetizer for the subsequent course of issues. May Marvin Kaye keep the flame burning bright.
