DR. WATSON'S MEMOIRS: HOLMES vs. DRACULA — THE HORROR AT WHITBY MANOR

(1001 Sherlock Holmes Stories & The Best of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

In this chilling crossover from the vaults of Dr. Watson's Memoirs, the great detective faces a foe unlike any he has ever encountered. When a series of mysterious deaths strike the seaside town of Whitby, Holmes and Watson are summoned to investigate — only to find themselves confronting the ancient terror of Count Dracula himself.

Inside the crypts and shadowed manors of Yorkshire, science meets superstition, reason meets horror, and the world's most logical mind must face the impossible.

This original pastiche blends the gothic dread of Bram Stoker with the razor‑sharp deduction of Conan Doyle — a tale of lantern light, blood, and intellect against darkness.

Why listen:

• A cinematic Holmes adventure steeped in Victorian horror

• Atmospheric writing and sound design that pull you into the crypt

• A perfect finale for the Dr. Watson's Memoirs cycle — where deduction meets the supernatural
