Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Demon is a mystery novel by James Lovegrove. It is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche that involves a Krampus-like Christmas demon. The book also makes reference to Philip Jose Farmer’s Wold Newton family.[1]
December 1890, Eve Allerthorpe visits London from Yorkshire with the aim of asking Sherlock Holmes to aid her. Allerthorpe is due to inherit a large estate on her 21st birthday, just days away, if she is found of sound mind. Recently, there have been chilling tales of the ghost of Allerthorpe's deceased mother and worse; visions of a legend told to her in her childhood, the Black Thurrick.
