Forge Books

Once, there was a world where the heroes were defined by their white clothing and the bad guys always wore black.

This was the traditional Western. But times change, as ...

Fun Lightweight Hollywood Romp
I read a fair amount of crime fiction, but had never read anything by prolific multiple award-winner Estleman until now. The film preservation milieu of this first in a projected series caught my attention, so I decided to give it a whirl. The story revolves around a ...

Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula
Penguin (Non-Classics)
, 1979
One of the best
First published in the late seventies, this is generally recognised as one of the all time classic Holmes pastiches. Yes you can quibble that Holmes was squarely a non-believer in the supernatural but it's hard to resist this pairing of the Great Detective and the Lord ...

Bloody Season
Loren D. Estleman
Jove

Of the hundreds of books written about Tombstone and the Arizona Territory during the times of the Clanton and Earps I'd give this one the highest marks. Although it's a fictionalized history, Estleman manages to capture several traits concerning the period I've never ...
