Synopsis

First launched in 2015, The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories presents traditional, canonical-style adventures set within the correct time period and written by contemporary Sherlockian authors from around the world. Following earlier companion collections, including Eliminate the Impossible (2017) and Whatever Remains . . . Must Be the Truth (2019), this three-volume set continues the approach with stories centred on Holmes’s encounters with events that appear impossible.

Across the companion volumes, the collection gathers fifty-eight new tales featuring ghosts, hauntings, and crimes or incidents that seem unable to have occurred, yet apparently did. Royalties are donated by the writers to support the preservation of Undershaw for special needs students, a former home of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; as of June 2022, the books have raised over $100,000 for the school.
