Sherlock Holmes Parodies and Pastiches

I have been a fan of Sherlock Holmes for many years, but lately my interest has turned toward the many parodies and pastiches that appeared during Conan Doyle’s lifetime. The 223B Casebook Series is my home for those stories found one door down from that notable Baker Street address.

Six books have been published: “The Early Punch Parodies of Sherlock Holmes” and “Victorian Parodies and Pastiches: 1888-1899,” “Edwardian Parodies and Pastiches I: 1900-1904, Edwardian Parodies II: 1905-1909, Great War Parodies I: 1910-1914, Great War Parodies II: 1915-1919, and Jazz Age Parodies I: 1920-1924.

There are more books in the works, including at least one “best of” volume. The Peschel Press site contains information on future books in the series.

Below can be found a list of works I’ve published on the blog so far. I’ve also adopted the author’s prerogative of adding works outside the 1888-1930 time period that were especially cool.

(Also, did I mention that I published a Sherlock Holmes short story featuring Mark Twain? I believe I just did.)

For those interested in learning more about the World of Sherlock Holmes, I recommend Sherlockology for fans of the BBC series, Sherlockian.net for the old school fans, and the podcasts “Baker Street Babes” and “I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere.”
