Sherlock Holmes Stories NOT Written by Arthur Conan Doyle

[Kyer]

OMG....this thread has brought back memories of hassling my family members for a ride down to Long Beach California. There was a bookstore there called Sherlock's Home. It was made up to look like a room in a house, filled with mystery books. Between that and the large SF store some miles down the street that carried Doctor Who as well as Star Trek novelizations.....It was like visiting heaven for the day.

Recall reading the Dracula and Dr. Jeckyll ones. Seven Percent Solution, naturally.

Then family found religion and at the same time I got a job....

*sigh*

Never thought I'd say I missed the period where I was unemployed, but there were some good (book) times back then.

Is there a list of all non-canonical Sherlock Holmes novels published in English?

There are far to many to be listed. However, here are 176 of them.

I picked up a bunch of these books at a thrift store this weekend, starting out with John Gardner.

Strongly related to this topic is a series in which Holmes appeared at least once, though not as the star: Michael Kurland's revisionist Professor Moriarty series.

I read just the first one, THE INFERNAL DEVICE, which I liked, and which was nominated for an Edgar award.

Here's a loaded question: what's the first non-Doyle story to have him encounter something science-fictional or supernatural? I say "non-Doyle" since the "Creeping Man" story has a SF angle.

Have you read any of Gardner's Moriarty stories?

Fred Saberhagen's Dracula series includes two encounters between his Dracula and Sherlock Holmes which are quite good.

Crime writer Loren D. Estleman also wrote two in this vein (from the Holmes side): Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula and Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Holmes. I haven’t read the latter but enjoyed the Dracula effort. I thought he did an excellent job of mimicking Dr. Watson’s “voice.” Not surprising. A lifelong fan, he also wrote an admirable introduction to Sherlock Holmes: Complete Stories and Novels.

I picked up both of those last weekend

There's a Robert J. Sawyer short story in Iterations, various comics appearances, the 2 modern TV shows, episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Bravestar...

Are, Exploits of Sherlock Holmes, Andrew Lane's Young Sherlock Holmes and House of Silk canon to each other?

I had a revelation brought by Insomnia. Think about it... they were all in some way commissioned by the Conan Doyle Estate as interquels or prequels of the same 9 Canonical books and they are lauded as ''official'' (at least in the case of House of Silk and probably with Exploits). It may be said that the Estate created a secondary Canon or a Deuterocanon (I'm fighting the impulse to go full geek and say EU). Not official if you don't want them to be but still concise with main canon.

episodes of Batman: The Brave and the Bold

Those were terrible. They played him like an obnoxious version Poirot.
