It was these collective utterances that made up what the Afro-American writer, Arma Bontemps, calls an ""American genre" of literary narrative, otherwise known as "Slave narrative" (See Ogude 30 -31). These publications exposed in details their complex ethnical and psychological orientation toward slavery, demanding in very strict terms, the abolition of the Southern tyranny. Precisely, between 18, there were a wide range of publications by Afro-Americans on America's peculiar institution. Generally speaking, an autobiography is a self portrait narrative construed and constructed by the subject himself. Although identifiable as a unique genre of its own, the typical slave narrative is essentially a form of autobiography. Between 1770 when Ukawsaw Gronniosaw's work announced the birth of the African-American literary tradition and 1860, the most dominant form of narrative focused on the experience of slavery as encountered by blacks in the United States.

This is not a continuation of the Sherlock stories but a re-imagining, based on the premise that the Cthulhu Mythos exists and has influenced Holmes. Lovegrove clearly knows both worlds exceptionally well, evident in the clever blending that makes up Sherlock Holmes and the Shadwell Shadows.

Both writers are said to have been influenced by Edgar Allan Poe - Sherlock Holmes following Poe's C. I've never considered combining the world of Holmes with that of Cthulhu (another favourite of mine) but on refection it does make some sense.

Still, even an avid fan must recognize that not all of Dame Agatha’s work was top-drawer, not all BBC adaptations do justice to their sources, and even the Belgian detective and his famous little grey cells could have an off day, now and then. I’m in, with bells on, as long as it’s Hercule Poirot wearing the mustache and David Suchet playing him.
