Watson: “No need for my medical bag, Sherlock. The man is clearly dead.”
Holmes: “Yes, my esteemed friend, it’s obvious he died instantly from a
broken neck brought on with brittle bones, narcolepsy and consuming a jeroboam
of some very bad 1894 French Champagne.” (caption pastiche by PillartoPost.org)
CATCHING UP WITH
SHERLOCK’S NEW WRITERS
One of the joys for
fans of Sherlock Holmes is Strand magazine’s
penchant to publish pastiches of the famed detective. The most recent pastiche written in the style
of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the creator of Sherlock Holmes) is by Ed Lawrence,
who has Sherlock and Dr. Watson solve a crime in a dash of a second. Click here for Lawrence’s fast and fun read.
The
Strand, a contemporary mystery magazine with a vintage past, offers the best of
both worlds: publishing previously unpublished works by literary masters such

fiction by today’s bestselling authors such as Alexander McCall Smith, R.L.
Stine, Michael Connelly, Joseph Finder and Jeffery Deaver.
