Sherlock Holmes!!!!!!!!!!!!

This page I devote to Poppie

I can thank my grandfather's copies of the New Annotated Edition for getting me so incredibly into Sherlock Holmes. The Great Game is half the fun! The other half is going crazy forever

My Sherlockian library (misc. stuff):

  • William S. Baring-Gould's Annotated Edition
    I have not read any of this yet!
  • Leslie S. Klinger's New Annotated Edition
    My bible. My introduction to Holmes. Have read approx. 4 times.
  • Sherlock Holmes of Baker Street by William S. Baring-Gould
  • The Encyclopedia Sherlockiana by Jack Tracy
  • Sherlock Holmes: The Published Apocrypha, edited by Jack Tracy
  • Sherlock Holmes by Gas-Lamp, edited by Phillip A. Schreffler
  • Subcutaneously, My Dear Watson, by Jack Tracy with Jim Berkey (THANK YOU DAD!!!!!!)

My Sherlockian library cont. (pastiches, fanfic, etc.)

  • The Seven-Per-Cent Solution by Nicholas Meyer
    I like it! Gets really weird towards the end though?
  • The West End Horror by Nicholas Meyer
    ...fine?
  • The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes by Michael and Molly Hardwick, novelization of the Billy Wilder movie
    Curious, but I didn't like the movie very much, so I didn't like the novelization either
  • The House of Silk by Anthony Horowitz
    Worth reading (?) but astonishingly poorly reasearched and proofread
  • A Study in Terror by Ellery Queen
    Only Ellery Queen I've ever read. I liked the Ellery parts better than the Holmes parts.
  • The Giant Rat of Sumatra by Richard L. Boyer
    Okay, good if you like whump and angst-w/-a-happy-ending kinda stuff (it's one of my favorites!)
  • The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes by Adrian Conan Doyle and John Dickson-Carr
    Pastiche-ness too on point, fanfic-ness lacking... until the very end and then its like wow okay
  • Sherlock Holmes by David Castleman
    Good luck finding this; it's really truly very excellent though!
  • Exit Sherlock Holmes by Robert Lee Hall
    Haven't read yet

Favorite adaptations:

Sherlock Holmes (2013)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson (1979)
Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century (1999)
Sherlock Holmes (2009) and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011)


P.S. I looooove Frederic Dorr Steele's illustrations if you couldn't tell. Both illustrations on this page and the one in the lefthand menu are FDS.
