The emotional energy of the book brims with such intensity and fervor as not seen anywhere else in the Holmes stories. Canon Adaptations Pastiches Popular culture. The problem with the Sherlock Holmes stories is that I can never remember which ones I've read, apart from those in the two short collections I own, and since I can't claim to be a fan of the famous detective without being entirely sure that I've read his most famous case, The Hound of the Baskervilles , I bought this wonderfully cheap copy. I just finished this two separate novels and like it very much even though I had a felling of deja vu with the Valley of Fear because of the way it was plotte, when compared with A study in scarlet. No problem, I had a lovely time! Watson's journal which made it telling, not doing, so I'm not sure I liked that aspect of the story. The Hound of Baskervilles is one of the greatest stories combining supernatural in the story. There are many things Sherlock is bad at!

I feel like there were a lot of unnecessary details, which were a bit boring to read through.

The night of his interment saw a phantom pack of hounds come baying across the moor to howl at his tomb. The ending is really good though. Sherlock Holmes 9 books. Ultimately, once the flashback explanatory section is put into context and The Valley of Fear is approached more on Conan Doyle's intended terms rather than as merely another episode in the Holmes catalogue, it should start to become clear that the novel is more akin to an Edwardian psychological thriller than to a Sherlock Holmes detective story. What I liked the most in it is the atmosphere that flirts with the gothic tales: an old house that evokes memories of death and sorrow, and a devilish creature haunting the surroundings in a bucolic village. I don't care how much it explains the reasons behind whatever has been done, I just want to read about Holmes and Watson tbh. This novel was incredible.

  • Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press 2021
    Jan 21 #1 Scuttlebutt from the Spermaceti Press Sherlockians (and Holmesians) did not gather in New York to celebrate the Great Detective’s 167th birthday this year, but the somewhat shorter long weekend offered plenty of events, thanks to Zoom and other modern technol- ogy. Detailed reports will be available soon at the web-site of The Baker Street Irregulars <www.bakerstreetirregulars.com>, but here are few brief paragraphs to tide you over: The BSI’s Distinguished Speaker on Thursday was Andrew Lycett, the author of two fine books about Conan Doyle; his topic was “Conan Doyle’s Questing World” (and close to 400 people were able to attend the virtual lecture); the event also included the announcement by Steve Rothman, editor of the Baker Street Journal, of the winner of the Morley-Montgomery Award for the best article the BSJ last year: Jessica Schilling (for her “Just His Type: An Analysis of the Découpé Warning in The Hound of the Baskervilles”). Irregulars and guests gathered on Friday for the BSI’s annual dinner, with Andrew Joffe offering the traditional first toast to Nina Singleton as The Woman, and the program continued with the usual toasts, rituals, and pap- ers; this year the toast to Mrs. Hudson was delivered by the lady herself, splendidly impersonated by Denny Dobry from his recreation of the sitting- room at 221B Baker Street. Mike Kean (the “Wiggins” of the BSI) presented the Birthday Honours (Irregular Shillings and Investitures) to Dan Andri- acco (St. Saviour’s Near King’s Cross), Deborah Clark (Mrs. Cecil Forres- ter), Carla Coupe (London Bridge), Ann Margaret Lewis (The Polyphonic Mo- tets of Lassus), Steve Mason (The Fortescue Scholarship), Ashley Polasek (Singlestick), Svend Ranild (A “Copenhagen” Label), Ray Riethmeier (Mor- rison, Morrison, and Dodd), Alan Rettig (The Red Lamp), and Tracy Revels (A Black Sequin-Covered Dinner-Dress).

Dollar checks should be payable to Jean Upton. The Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library (c/o George A. Vanderburgh, PO Box 204, 420 Owen Sound Street, Shelburne, Ontario L0N 1S0, Canada) has published an excellent collection of essays: FroFromm Baltimore to Baker Street; Thirteen Sherlockian Studies by William Hyder. The author cuts through the accretion of error and fantasy that has bogged down Holmesian scholarship since before the days of Vincent Starrett, and presents well-researched, well-reasoned and intensely readable papers on Holmes' musical ability, Watson's education and career, religious figures in the Canon, and more. His investigation of the Abernetty business and of what he calls "The Martha Myth" are models of their kind. There's really funny humour in "The Root of the Matter" and "The Detectives of Penzance", and the two short plays are so good that I want to see them performed ("The Impression of a Woman" is admittedly similar to David Stuart Davies' Sherlock Through the Magnifying GlassGlass, though neither could have influenced the other). Look, this one's really good, and every home should have a copy. It's a nice 216-page hardback, costing £15.00 + £2.00 postage. Cheques should be payable to George A. Vanderburgh.

    THE DISTRICT MESSENGER The Newsletter of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London Roger Johnson, Mole End, 41 Sandford Road, Chelmsford CM2 6DE no. 145 18th October 1994 John Bennett Shaw ('The Hans Sloane of My Age', BSI) died on the 2nd October, of a heart attack, just a week before his 81st birthday. He didn't lose consciousness and was not in pain; death itself came suddenly and instantaneously. Much of the December 1990 issue of The Baker Street Journal was devoted to John's life and career as a Sherlockian, and a proper tribute should be that long. Briefly though: he was probably the world's greatest and most omnivorous Holmesian collector; he was responsible for starting more Holmes societies than most of us can imagine; he vetted applications to become scions of the Baker Street Irregulars; he had a taste for good food, good drink and bad puns; he was Big Brother in the most stimulating and comfortable way possible, and as such he had hundreds (perhaps thousands) of little brothers and sisters world-wide. He was irreplaceable. Another long-time supporter of this newsletter died recently, Mr L.T. Archer of Clacton-on-Sea; an elderly gentleman who was unable to attend the Society's meetings often, he was related to George Lusk of the Whitechapel vigilantes ('From Hell. Mr Lusk, Sor...’). Peter Blau reports that Robert Bloch died on the 23rd September; though he'll be forever tagged 'the author of PsychoPsycho’, he made good use in his stories and essays of his knowledge and love of the Holmesian canon.

  • Michael Ross
    FOOTPRINTS OF A GIGANTIC HUND by MICHAEL ROSS After two years of Hound centenaries one might expect that everything had been said about this story. Still, there is another Hound centenary to be cele- brated in 2003, which gives me the opportunity to relate its extraordinary suc- cess in a country which, in canonical circles, is better remembered for its music and spies than for its interest in the Holmes stories: Germany. One hundred years ago, in March 1903, Der Hund von Baskerville1 was first published in Ger- man translation, by Lutz of Stuttgart, who had introduced Holmes to German readers in 1894 and had published all his subsequent exploits. The German first edition of The Hound of the Baskervilles became a great success, and the story had been reprinted and re-issued many times in the following decades. It has been translated into German no less than nine times between 1903 and 1987. The huge success of Der Hund von Baskerville with the German public is also indi- cated by an amazing number of theater plays and films, as well as a TV show and even a stage musical based on it. Some of these have the honor to be “Houndian” firsts in their respective fields. In the first decade of the 20th century, the theater (including opera, oper- etta, and vaudeville) was still the most popular place for entertainment in Ger- many. Theater managers were constantly on the lookout for popular plays with which to fill their houses and their purses, and it was only a question of time until they struck upon the detective play.
