[Riju Ganguly · Rating 3 out of 5]

This decent collection of pulpish pastiches contained the following stories:
1. I.A. Watson's 'The Woman Who Collected Queen Victoria': Best story of the set, by a large margin.
2-3. S. Subramanian's 'The Problem at Farnham' and 'The Second Adventure of the Empty House': Both the stories were derivative and predictable, I'm afraid.
4. Fred Adams Jr's 'The Affair of the Drunken Sexton': Good story marred by several mistakes and inconsistencies.
5. Dexter Fabi's 'The Adventure of the Severed Heads': OK type story, unnecessarily lengthened.
Airship 27 needs to bring back some of the past masters of pulpish pastiches, if they wish to stop the slide.

[Kevin Findley · Rating 3 out of 5]

A solid collection of Holmes tales from Airship 27. A little bit uneven because of the various authors, but each story was good and it was fairly easy to 'hear' the voices of Holmes and Watson in them.
