Описание:
Eleven stories in a darker mood from Hugh Ashton, the acclaimed author of the Deed Box and Dispatch-box of Sherlock Holmes adventures. Here he explores the theme of the unknown that lurks behind our everyday world, waiting for its chance to escape and wreak havoc. The settings range from a 16th-century Italian galley, through a 19th century country house, to the author's home city of Lichfield. Contains strong language and adult themes.
Bee-bee - a rag doll who helps her owner cope with life's ups and downs
What you find in a skip - it can be surprising
Babysitter - something nasty in the Coopers' woodshed
Time thieves - they steal time and dreams and energy
Ships in the night - "as night turned to day, he started to understand the truth"
Carnacki at Bunscombe Abbey - a sincere tribute to William Hope Hodgson's classic ghost-finder
The story that wrote itself - sometimes an author gets help from an unexpected source
Gianni Two-Pricks - be careful what you take from others - even when they're dead
Lady of the Dance - movement as message
Me and my Shadow - or is it really my shadow?
What Happens Afterwards? - when you die on the operating table, what's next?

The deed box of Dr. John Watson, entrusted by him over a century ago to Cox & Co. of Charing Cross, and which made its way to Hugh Ashton in Kamakura, Japan, continues to yield treasure.
The box proved to have a false bottom, under which lay the manuscript of a full-length adventure of Sherlock Holmes, in which the great detective needs all his cunning and detective powers to unravel the mysteries at Hareby Hall.
Mentioned in passing by Dr. Watson in his account of A Scandal in Bohemia, The Darlington Substitution is a tale of deceit, treachery, and murder most foul, set in the wild Border country of northern England. Holmes and Watson encounter a centuries-old legend which tells of the future extinction of an ancient noble family, and set themselves against one of the most ingenious and fiendish villains ever to cross the path of Sherlock Holmes.
Holmes and his faithful biographer come to life again in this case, following in the tradition already set in the three volumes of the "Deed Box" series of shorter Holmes adventures published by Inknbeans Press. These have been extremely favorably received by readers and reviewers, with one commenting, "I would have assumed that they were indeed previously undiscovered Doyle originals," and another, "The author has followed the approaches of the original Doyle stories to the extent that these could have been easily included in the original works".
The boxes once belonging to Doctor Watson containing notes related to cases and adventures of his friend, Sherlock Holmes, are still not empty. Here we find five such adventures, four of which are mentioned in the original collections published through Watson's literary agent, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and brought together here.
The Adventure of the Broken Door is mentioned briefly (but not by that name), in The Norwood Builder.
The Adventure of the Green Dragon has an oriental flavour and is referenced (though the reference is obscure) in The Cardboard Box.
The Adventure of John Vincent Harden is mentioned in by name in the Solitary Cyclist.
The Adventure of the Copper Pins is mentioned (but not by that name) in The Five Orange Pips.
The Adventure of the Deceased Doctor is unusual, as it occurs some two and half years after His Last Bow, when Holmes and Watson are both serving their country in the Great War.
