He has spent most of his subsequent career adding to the Cthulhu Mythos as adumbrated (but not created) by H P Lovecraft, through his Sherlock Holmes in the Cthulhu Mythos Adventures beginning with a novella, Sherlock Holmes in the Adventure of the Ancient Gods (1990 chap) (see Sherlock Holmes). Most of the ensuing tales, including this title, were assembled or reassembled as Sherlock Holmes: The Coils of Time and Other Stories (coll 2013) and Sherlock Holmes: Cthulhu Mythos Adventures (coll 2015). Nikola Tesla figures prominently in the series. Other sequences include The Steampunk Adventures of Folkestone & Hand beginning with Shadows Against the Empire: An Interplanetary Steampunk Adventure (2013) (see Steampunk). [JC]
