At the age of ten in the mid-1970's, David Marcum discovered Mr. Sherlock Holmes, and from that point, he knew that the original 60 Canonical adventures would never be enough. This, coupled with his life-long desire to write, meant that eventually he would find a way to add new stories to The Great Holmes Tapestry.
The years passed, and David collected, read, and chronologicized literally thousands of traditional Canonical Sherlockian pastiches. Then, in 2008, with time on his hands while laid off from his civil engineering job during the Great Recession, David finally found his way to Watson's Tin Dispatch Box, producing The Papers of Sherlock Holmes. These first nine short stories originally sat on a shelf in his Holmes book collection before he eventually decided to share them with others. That first collection was initially published by a small press in 2011, and then in 2013 by the world's premiere Sherlockian publisher, MX Publishing - and after that, there was no turning back.
Since then, in addition to editing over 110 volumes (most of which are Sherlockian pastiche collections), David has written and published over 140 Sherlockian adventures in a variety of anthologies and magazines. The first seven volumes were published between 2021 and 2024, containing 117 of David's Holmesian stories - and now we bring you 16 more!
Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, the man described by the estimable Dr. Watson as the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known.
The game is afoot!
