Halloween Sherlock is my series of slightly dark Sherlock Holmes short reads or novelettes – and it was never intended to be a series.

The Case of the Snow-White Lady
There is no such thing as a vampire … or is there?
Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson are summoned to Dartmoor by an old schoolfriend of Watson’s, Bill Holcombe. His sixteen year old daughter Amelia, who died a month previously, has been seen wandering the village at night. Witnesses swear that she catches animals and sucks their blood.
