Join us at Books on the Rise for a deep dive into Sherlock Holmes, Horror and Reinventing popular heroes with Joel Meadows and Jasper Bark Join us at Books on the Rise for an electrifying evening with Joel Meadows and Jasper Bark as they dive deep into Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders — a bold, genre-bending reinvention of the world's greatest detective. About Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders: Sherlock Holmes and The Empire Builders is an epic alternate world sci-fi adventure featuring The World's Greatest Detective as people have never seen him before. When Watson leaves Holmes to help Crick unravel the DNA helix and finds himself in the employ of England's most evil man, the Detective is forced to team up with an unlikely group to defeat this monstrous figure and return England to its status quo. Perfect for fans of Michael Moorcock (Elric, Jerry Cornelius), Bryan Talbot (Luther Arkwright, Grandville), and anyone who loves fresh takes on classic heroes. Born as a short story in Tripwire magazine in 2020, The Gene Genie (Volume 1) has exploded in popularity — winning Comic Scene’s Best Crowdfunder 2025 and earning praise from legends like Michael Moorcock himself. About Joel Meadows: Joel Meadows is a journalist and writer with over three decades of experience in newspapers, magazines, and books. His CV includes some of the most renowned publications in the world, including Time magazine, the Times, the Telegraph, the Guardian, and the Observer. He has also written extensively about comics, film, TV, and culture for publications such as Variety, Empire, Big Issue in the North, and Comic Heroes. He is the editor-in-chief of Tripwire, a preeminent publication that covers comics, film, TV, and related subjects. He is also one of the producers of the Portsmouth International Comic Con. About Jasper Bark: Award winning author, Jasper Bark is infectious – and there’s no known cure. If you’re reading this you’re already contaminated. The symptoms will manifest any time soon. There’s nothing you can do about it. There’s no itching or unfortunate rashes, but you’ll become obsessed with his mind-bending books. ‍ Then you’ll want to tell everyone else about his visionary horror fiction. About its originality, its wild imagination and how it takes you to the edge of your sanity. We’re afraid there’s no way to avoid this. These words contain a power you’re hopeless to resist. You’re already in their thrall, you know you are. You’re itching to read all of Jasper’s bloodstained books. Don’t fight this urge, embrace it. You’ve been bitten by the Bark bug and you love it!
