Fiction. Mystery. Short Stories. Historical Fiction. HTML:BESTSELLING AUTHORS GO HOLMES—IN AN IRRESISTIBLE NEW COLLECTION edited by award-winning Sherlockians Laurie R. King and Leslie S. Klinger
 
Neil Gaiman. Laura Lippman. Lee Child. These are just three of eighteen superstar authors who provide fascinating, thrilling, and utterly original perspectives on Sherlock Holmes in this one-of-a-kind book. These modern masters place the sleuth in suspenseful new situations, create characters who solve Holmesian mysteries, contemplate Holmes in his later years, fill gaps in the Sherlock Holmes Canon, and reveal their own personal obsessions with the Great Detective.

Thomas Perry, for example, has Dr. Watson tell his tale, in a virtuoso work of alternate history that finds President McKinley approaching the sleuth with a disturbing request; Lee Child sends an FBI agent to investigate a crime near today’s Baker Street—only to get a twenty-first-century shock; Jacqueline Winspear spins a story of a plucky boy inspired by the detective to make his own deductions; and graphic artist Colin Cotterill portrays his struggle to complete this assignment in his hilarious “The Mysterious Case of the Unwritten Short Story.”*

In perfect tribute comes this delicious collection of twisty, clever, and enthralling studies of a timeless icon.

The second star is for Gaiman. ( )

Some pretty interesting stories that are all connected in various ways to Holmes.. Like any book of short stories, some are better than others, though overall I think this is worth reading if you enjoy creative spins on the topic. While reading these it dawned on me that I hadn't read many of the Sherlock stories, so that is where I'm headed next. As Holmes would say, "Elementary!" ( )

I was a little disappointed in this collection. I guess I interpreted "inspired by" to mean more Holmes canon based stories and not just any story that had some Holmes or Doyle reference in it. Only a few stories actually features Holmes or other characters from Doyle's canon - which is what I was looking for in this type of collection.
[a:Neil Gaiman|1221698|Neil Gaiman|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1234150163p2/1221698.jpg]'s story was by far the best, in my opinion. If you read any of these stories, definitely check that one out. I wanted it to keep going!

If you like Sherlock Holmes stories because of the mystery and suspense, you would enjoy this. However, if you're like me and enjoy the canon more for the characters and their interactions than the plots, only a few of these will interest you. Support your local library and check it out there instead of buying. ( )

Fun to read. Not all the stories were bout Sherlock Holmes, but all were inspired by Dr. Watson's writings. One way or another, Holmes or his method of investigation were the basis for the stories in this book. All were excellently written and held my attention. Editors King and Klinger, already well known for their mastery of the Canon, were the perfect choice to edit this collection and the writters lived up to K&K's expectations and high standards. ( )

I didn't want this to end. It may be the most amusing short story collection I have read. ( )
