About the book itself:

"Sherlock Holmes, the world.s first.and most famous.consulting detective, came to the world.s
attention more than 120 years ago through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.s novels and stories. But Conan
Doyle didn.t reveal all of the Great Detective.s adventures.

Here are some of the best Holmes pastiches of the last 30 years, twenty-eight tales of mystery
and the imagination detailing Holmes.s further exploits, as told by many of today.s greatest
storytellers, including Stephen King, Anne Perry, Anthony Burgess, Neil Gaiman, Naomi Novik,
Stephen Baxter, Tanith Lee, Michael Moorcock, and many more.

These are the improbable adventures of Sherlock Holmes, where nothing is impossible, and
nothing can be ruled out. In these cases, Holmes investigates ghosts, curses, aliens, dinosaurs,
shapeshifters, and evil gods. But is it the supernatural, or is there a perfectly rational
explanation?

You won.t be sure, and neither will Holmes and Watson as they match wits with pirates, assassins,
con artists, and criminal masterminds of all stripes, including some familiar foes, such as their
old nemesis, Professor Moriarty.

In these pages you.ll also find our heroes crossing paths with H. G. Wells, Lewis Carroll,
and even Arthur Conan Doyle himself, and you.ll be astounded to learn the truth behind cases
previously alluded to by Watson but never before documented until now. These are tales that take
us from the familiar quarters at 221B Baker Street to alternate realities, from the gaslit streets
of London to the far future and beyond.

Whether it.s mystery, fantasy, horror, or science fiction, no puzzle is too challenging for the
Great Detective. The game is afoot!"
