I have a book from the 80s of sherlock Holmes stories written by a bunch of authors I've never heard of and Stephen King and it somehow has the official approval of the Doyle estate. I say somehow because the first three have these awful asides where they shove in things like Holmes scoffing in a real hackneyed way about cars and movies and one has the nerve to beat you over the head with the author's decision to include a child Charlie Chaplin as one of the Irregulars but a couple capture the feel. E: I had to go back and look at it it was watson doing the scoffing Lawrence Gilchrist fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Sep 28, 2020 |

Xotl posted:That was the first big pastiche anthology and also had the blessing of the Estate, as you say, so it is reasonably well known, though its quality is as hit and miss as most of that sort. The King is the best one in there, but some of the names you don't recognize are also well known in the mystery community if nowhere else: Dorothy B. Hughes has several of her books made into films, including the classic In A Lonely Place with Bogart (great movie). Edward D. Hoch was one of a handful of people in the world after the pulps who made a living off short stories: he wrote hundreds, appearing every month in the top mystery magazines for decades. John Gardner was an ex-Royal Commando and then priest who took over the Bond franchise after Fleming died; he wrote a trio of interesting novels about Moriarty that can be a lot of fun. I was mostly grousing, thanks for the info! I'll check them out
