the first of the Big Finish Sherlock Holmes S2 audios is up for download. This time they're doing audios of canonical stories, although they've picked an odd set to start with
I'm curious about 2.4, The Tangled Skein. It's based on David Stuart Davies' Holmes/Dracula novel (and it's a sequel to HOUN, err, The Hound of the Baskervilles, to boot), and of the Holmes/Dracula stories I've read, that one's nearly my least favorite. (Absolute worst: Fred Saberhagen's Seance for a Vampire, which pits Holmes and Dracula against Rasputin.) The BBC has already adapted my favorite Holmes/Dracula story, Loren Estlemen's Sherlock Holmes Vs. Dracula.
If Big Finish wants to do a fannish crossover, I'd love to see them tackle a Holmes/Phantom of the Opera story. I'm currently rereading Sam Siciliano's The Angel of the Opera, which does exactly that.
