My Sherlock Holmes toby jug confronts
the Giant Rat of Sumatra! (© Dr Karl Shuker)
When I first opened my Eclectarium, I promised that
it would include some Sherlockian exhibits, and I am nothing if not a man of my
word.
So now, courtesy of my ShukerNature blog, I have
great pleasure in presenting not one but two of the great fictional detective's
most daunting foes of the zoological kind. Click here
to face the creeping terror that is the dreaded Speckled Band; and click here to encounter the mysterious – and monstrous –
Giant Rat of Sumatra.

Thanks Dr Karl, never heard of Giant Rat of Sumatra but I'll check out its story. There's also some pretty intriguing The Speckled Band essays that I wanted to share if that was okay :)
