SHERLOCK HOLMES: THE ADVENTURE OF THE SUSSEX VAMPIRE AND OTHER STORIES

An aural essay of Baker Street is presented by the old bogeyman of British B movies. Listening to these tapes reminds this reviewer that every time he returns to the Holmes canon--and he has read many of the cases three and four times--they appear as fresh as if he had never read them before. Christopher Lee lightens his sepulchral voice to give us a fine rendition on par with the best in the overcrowded shelves of Sherlockiana on tape.
