Reviews

[Travis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another fun collection of stories featuring crossovers of characters from all across French pulp literature and beyond.
My review is biased, as I'm a regular contributor and my story in this volume turned out really well.

I'm also a big fan of Brian Gallagher's vampire saga and Martin Gately's creation of the Great men of Baker street.
