Summary: Been done better before
Comment: This Sherlock Holmes pastiche matches the great detective against Count Dracula. It's set just after 'Hound of the Baskervilles' and refers to that book quite a lot. Holmes and Watson are drawn back to the moors of the Hound and find that Dracula has set up shop there in his bid to spread vampirism across the world.[...]

'Tangled Skein' offers nothing really new on the idea and has little of the 'authentic' feel of other better pastiches.[...] Although the author has cleverly woven Dracula into the story of the Baskervilles the tale lacks any real narrative drive. I found myself skimming the last few chapters. Although the author quotes from Conan Doyle there's little feel of the original stories here.[...]

All in all this is a solid attempt at an interesting idea but one that falls short of the mark left by others. It's not bad, it's just not memorable. [...]
