Gift Received: Knock-off Detective Novels
Oh my gosh, these are amazing! It would have been easy for the "authors" of these books to simply rip the source material, but they went the extra mile in being lazy. They rewrote the source material, but added in whatever they thought would make it more interesting.
Sherlock Holmes? Why not put him in a sci-fi setting? In fact, he should be investigating a case on the Starship Enterprise.
Harry Dresden, the wizard detective? Why not add dragons? Hell, it actually wouldn't be too out of place considering the source material.
Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright? He's not even from a book, and yet sitting beside me is a copy of "Ace Attorney Abridged".
These books are terrible, unsurprisingly. The dialogue is janky, the plots are convoluted, and the twists are only unexpected because they don't make any sense. However, they're stupidly ludicrous in the most entertaining of ways.
"Elementary, my dear Watson. The reason we couldn't find the killer, is because the killer was looking for us." That doesn't even make sense with context, I promise.
I love them. Thanks a million, Shopkeep.
