Thirteen authors, including Gail Z. Martin, David Gerrold, and
Jonathan Maberry, come together to pen short stories innovating
Sherlock Holmes, adapting and revolutionizing the iconic character.
Sherlock Holmes is one of the most iconic and lasting figures in
literature. His feats of detection are legendary, and he continues
to capture audiences today in stories, movies, and on TV. In this
new anthology, Baker Street Irregulars, authors present the
celebrated detective in more than a dozen wildly entertaining new
ways. In Ryk Spoor's thrilling "The Adventures of a Reluctant
Detective," Sherlock is a re-creation in a holodeck. In Hildy
Silverman's mesmerizing "A Scandal in the Bloodline," Sherlock is a
vampire. Heidi McLaughlin sends Sherlock back to college, while
Beth Patterson, in the charming "Code Cracker," turns him into a
parrot. The settings range from Russia in the near-future to a
reality show, from a dystopian world to an orchestra. Without
losing the very qualities that make Sherlock so illustrious a
character, these authors spin new webs of mystery around their own
singular riff on one of fiction's truly singular characters.
