“What's this, Mr. Holmes? Man,
it's witchcraft!” [VALL]
Continuing on our supernatural theme, we land on witchcraft.
And not just any witchcraft, either. This was a spell cast at Baker
Street.
Our monthly "Mr. Sherlock Holmes the theorist" theme lands on
Frank Allen's "Witchcraft in Baker Street" from the
anthology Beyond Baker Street, and it looks at how
some of the people we meet in "Charles Augustus Milverton" were
bothered, bewitched, and bewildered. It's just a Trifle.
You know the plots, but what about the minutiae? We delve into the Sherlock Holmes stories and provide answers to questions that arise, clarify muddy details, and look into some of the period terminology in this weekly podcast.
