Coming Soon: A New Collection of Sherlock Holmes Stories

If you’ve already started thinking about Christmas shopping, I can suggest the perfect gift for the Sherlock Holmes fan in your life. The new, three-volume collection of Sherlock Holmes stories from MX Publishing.

By now, the MX Collection of Holmes stories is famous. This new collection offers 59 tales in three volumes.

Over the course of their careers and lives, Sherlock Holmes and Doctor John Watson were of inestimable importance. But when reading their many adventures, it’s not just the heroes themselves that make the stories so wonderful. It’s the Victorian and Edwardian worlds in which they lived, and the many people with whom the interacted – those well known, like Mycroft Holmes, Mrs. Hudson, and various Scotland Yard inspectors, and others who may have just crossed the stage for a short time before vanishing. All of these Occupants of the Canonical Realm have value, whatever the depth of their roles, and this new set of Holmes stories celebrates them.

 Once again MX Publishing brings us fifty-nine adventures in three simultaneously published volumes, each with some level of participation by individuals who initially appeared in The Canon. Perhaps this person is a major player, or possibly he or she is only mentioned in passing. In the meantime, the reader can be certain that the True Holmes and Watson of these books are the Canonical Heroes one deserves and expects.

All royalties from these books go to support the Undershaw school for special needs children, located at one of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s former homes.

Join us as we return to Baker Street and discover more authentic adventures of Sherlock Holmes, described by the estimable Dr. Watson as “the best and wisest . . . whom I have ever known.”

David Marcum is one of the world’s leading Sherlockian editors, having edited over 1,100 Sherlock Holmes Stories and 80 volumes (most of them Holmes anthologies), and having written and published over 130 traditional Canonical pastiches. The MX Collection was his inspiration back in 2015 when he yearned for more traditional Holmes stories and wanted to create a new collection dedicated to Holmes and Watson in Conan Doyle’s original format.

Besides many short stories, David’s Holmes fiction includes his debut novel ‘Quantity of Debt’ which was a bestselling addition to the Mondadori “Il Giallo Mondadori” collection in Italy. He has also written the novel “Sherlock Holmes and The Eye of Heka”, His own short stories can be found in the collections ‘Papers of Sherlock Holmes’ , ‘Tangled Skeins’ and the 6-volume (and counting) “The Collected Papers of Sherlock Holmes” with 98 of his stories.

Lee Child, New York Times Bestselling Author, has stated, “Marcum could be today’s greatest Sherlockian writer.” 

Other praise includes:

“David Marcum is the reigning monarch of all things Sherlockian . . . .” John Lescroart – New York Times Bestselling Author

“Among  the best I must number David Marcum, who, by this point has written  more Holmes stories than Doyle himself.” – Nicholas  Meyer – New York Times Bestselling Author

“Marcum himself again demonstrates his gift for emulating the feel of The Canon . . . .” – Publishers Weekly
