Sherlock Holmes is Gentleman Death in silk and lace-- a cold, cynical vampire ever-desperate for something to break the tedium of eternity. He finds it in Dr. John Watson, a depressed war-hero committing slow suicide through drink and the dangers of London's gambling dens.
Their strange friendship is fraught with difficulty from the onset-- but their lives truly take a turn for the macabre when they find themselves at the center of a gruesome (and infamous) murder spree.

Vampires. God. I never thought I'd read something like that. Especially not set in Victorian Era. Screams "badfic". Seriously, though, this is like nothing I expected. The characters are interesting, in their own way unique, and Sherlock is rather complex. No badass vampire, no "angel". He's a vampire version of the canon Sherlock.
