If you ever wondered how much better Sherlock would be if people could hurl hellfire at each other, well, this one is for you.

Starburst Magazine on A Study in Brimstone Warlock Holmes may have demons in his head, but now Dr. John Watson has a mummy in his bloodstream.

Specifically, that of the sorcerer Xantharaxes, who, when shredded and dissolved in an 8% solution, results in some extremely odd but useful prophetic dreams.

There's also the small matter of Watson falling for yet another damsel-du-jour, and Warlock deciding that his companion needs some domestic bliss.

Fortunately, Xantharaxes has a plan to help him out.

It involves using a magical amulet to turn Watson into a mummy, and then using another magical amulet to turn him back into a human.

Of course, there are some complications along the way, such as the fact that Xantharaxes is not exactly trustworthy, and the fact that Watson may not want to be turned into a mummy in the first place.

But in the end, Warlock and Watson manage to save the day, and Xantharaxes is defeated once and for all.

And, of course, Watson ends up with the girl.

So, if you're looking for a fun, action-packed adventure that's a little bit different from the usual Sherlock Holmes story, then you should definitely check out A Study in Brimstone.
