SOLVED. Circa 1970s paperback Sherlock Holmes meets a vampire. [s]

Do not judge me.... I read this as a young child and would dearly like to find it again. I am guessing it is dated to the 1970's before all the vampire craze really took off. Someone wrote a mass market paperback using the characters and I can't remember if Holmes ended up being bitten. Probably a lost cause but people on this board have worked miracles before. Thanks.

A guess - Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Sussex Vampire?

Ignore the publication date on goodreads.

The Holmes-Dracula File (1978)

Anno Dracula (1992) (while there are a number of literary characters in here, not sure Holmes is one of them) Too recently published.

Possibly The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Sherlock vs. Dracula by Loren D. Estleman? Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula (I believe it may also have been published as "The Adventure of the Sanguinary Count)

Another possibility: The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: Seance for a Vampire, by Fred Saberhagen. Seance for a Vampire

[Justanotherbiblophile]

Seance looks to be published in 1994 (by other sites as well as GR).

Loren's appears to be the right age to be a possibility.

Just located a copy of The Holmes-Dracula File (1978) and am hoping this is it. Amazing the knowledge pooled on this site! Should know shortly. The word 'Fil" in the title feels right.

Thank you all! It was The Holmes-Dracula File (1978). You are all amazing!
