CogsOfEncouragement I thought SH hit him on the head so he couldn‘t shoot again/was detained while SH examined W to ensure he wasn‘t hurt. It seemed to me that part of SH could not fathom anything fatal happening to W and part of SH was terrified that W was actually fatally injured. You can always kill someone you‘ve hit on the head, you can‘t unshoot them though. 34m

CogsOfEncouragement I enjoyed it. We‘ve been reading these nonstop and I have no such complaints myself. 55m

CogsOfEncouragement Fun one. I understood he wanted in the room when he was “too busy” to go see the third G himself. Too busy for 5 million all of a sudden? Riiiight. 57m

Librarybelle I thought it was better fair play wise than others we read, for instance last week‘s story. There are a few threads that I don‘t recall appearing in the story, but I may have missed them. 2w

eeclayton I definitely consider it fair play. I even picked up on some of the clues, although the one with the window had me baffled, just like Watson, I had no idea that SH saw a mirror image. 2w

CogsOfEncouragement I mean, the moment you hear there is a child from the first marriage...am I right? lol 2w

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement exactly!!! 2w

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement ... never trust the child from a 1st marriage! 🤣 I also found it kind of icky that Jack hung over his dad like a toddler would. 2w

Librarybelle I did find it interesting that Holmes was the opposite of Conan Doyle. Maybe it has something to do with how tired Conan Doyle was with Holmes that Holmes is the opposite. However, Holmes‘s thoughts on ghosts does fit with his methodical and logical persona. 2w

eeclayton @Librarybelle I agree. It would have been weird if SH hadn't set out to find a down-to-earth, logical explanation. 2w

CogsOfEncouragement After I finished this one last night, I looked up when it was first published. It was January 1924 in The Strand Magazine. I wondered if it was entertainment for October (but I suppose how we treat “spooky season“ is a fairly new phenomenon). As I kept googling I see that Doyle and Stoker were friends.

I wonder how widespread Doyle's beliefs were. Would SH keep bringing in $$$ if the stories took that sort of a turn? The money was the point. 2w

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement yes I saw Stoker and Doyle were friends. I know the loss of Doyle‘s first wife deeply affected him, which was the beginning of his interest in spirituality. I think his grief made him long for a life that wasn‘t so painful? Hence Sherlock 🤷‍♀️ 2w

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement In some of my readings, it seems that seances and such were quite the rage in the late 1800s. Doyle's loss of not only his 1st wife but the loss of his son Kingsley and other friends from WWI further enhanced his interest in spirituality later in life. He seems to have been a more rational person earlier when he created Holmes. 2w

Librarybelle I enjoyed this one too! I did kind of hope for a true supernatural element, which would have been unique, but it was a super fun story. Maybe I think so because vampire is in the title! 😂 2w

eeclayton I enjoyed it, too. It had a Jane Eyre-ish vibe in the beginning, and I'm glad the lady didn't end up in the attic or a madhouse 😁 2w

CogsOfEncouragement My favorite line from this one was when Watson sees his school mate is not physically what he once had been, and W states is was painful to see. The clever line that made me chuckle:
I fear that I roused corresponding emotions in him. 2w

kelli7990 I enjoyed it. 2w

Cuilin @CogsOfEncouragement great line! 2w

Cuilin @eeclayton yes definitely a gothic vibe right down to young Jack and his poison arrow. 2w

Cuilin @Librarybelle I was hoping for a bit more Vampiric lore. 2w

Cuilin @kelli7990 it was a fun one. 2w

dabbe @Cuilin @Librarybelle @eeclayton @CogsOfEncouragement @kelli7990 Sorry I'm a little late to the party. I enjoyed this one, too--WAY more than the last one, #oy! I found it interesting that the kid's name was Jack. “Jack“ is used is many folk tales (talking to you, Jack & the Bean Stalk) and usually involved a young adult male who is a trickster or rebel of sorts. In this one, he happens to want to kill. 🤷‍♀️ The name definitely fits! 2w
