Leslie S. Klinger is the editor of the three-volume New Annotated Sherlock Holmes and, of course, a member of the Baker Street Irregulars. Oh yes, he may have done something regarding Dracula as well. NEW 5/11/11: Mr. Klinger is compiling a new collection, A Study in Sherlock.
Graham Moore’s recently published The Sherlockian has a home at a blog by the same name. “Discussing writing and writers, Sherlockianism, Arthur Conan Doyle, and the literary world around us. Also, murder.”
Andrew Lane has been busy exploring the beginnings of the great detective: The year is 1868 and Holmes is fourteen, at boarding school, when he is sent to stay with his eccentric uncle in Hampshire after his father is suddenly posted to India. Holmes encounters his first murder and his taste for adventure. (Try to avoid the Justin Bieber-ish alternate book cover.)
Darlene Cypser’s The Crack in the Lens explores the seventeen-year-old Sherlock Holmes and the man he is to become. She makes Sherlock the younger brother of both Mycroft and Sherrinford Holmes and places him in the Holmes estate in Yorkshire where he falls in love with Violet Rushdale, but his hopes are ruined by the introduction of a certain maths professor. Cypser’s bold move is not to make this a classic Holmes mystery but a coming of age book that examines the basis for the Holmes’ character we know.
Like me, Steve Hockensmith has bridged the worlds of Jane Austen and Sherlock Holmes. Unlike me, he’s successful, but I won’t deny him due. His stories of Wild West “deducifiers” emulating their hero Holmes is a hoot. And yes, there is another Holmes book called The Crack in the Lens not inches away from this one.
Laurie R. King has been mining Sherlock Holmes’ retirement since The Beekeeper’s Apprentice, where the young Mary Russell meets the Great Detective on the Sussex Downs. Her eleventh book in the series, The Pirate King, will be released in September 2011.
