Book Description
Return to both the grandeur and the gothic underbelly of the Victorian age in the company of Mr. Sherlock Holmes and Dr John H Watson. Holmes was often reluctant to allow Watson to chronicle publically some of his most sensitive cases. In such circumstances, Dr Watson's first literary editor was occasionally permitted to publish the events as fictions with all mention of Holmes involvement removed. Comprising the collections 'Seen & Observed' and 'Their Dark Crisis, ' within are eight recently unearthed cases that reveal the secret sorrows behind some of those tales. Dr Watson relates all eight adventures in the finest tradition and spirit of such classics as 'The Problem of Thor Bridge' and 'The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire.' SEEN & OBSERVED: Sherlock Holmes was a keen observer of the human spirit. These adventures include a real tragedy that unfolds during a production of the cursed Scottish play, how a single out-of-place item freed an innocent man, how a chilling murderess was finally brought to justice, and how the calamities of the past can ripple out to the present. This collection includes the tales 'The Adventure of the Tragic Act, ' 'The Problem of the Black Eye, ' 'The Mannering Towers Mystery, ' and 'The Adventure of the Twelfth Hour.' THEIR DARK CRISIS: Sherlock Holmes was always loathe to admit the possibility of the supernatural. These adventures include his struggle against a man with an unhealthy power over the weak-minded, his capture of a man capable of summoning ghosts, his debunking of visions from the past, and his unearthing of an earthly explanation for a man's terrible curse. This collection includes the tales 'The Adventure of the Most Dangerous Man, ' 'The Adventure of the Haunted Grange, ' 'The Adventure of the Fabricated Vision, ' and 'The Adventure of the Wrong Hand.' Fully annotated, this edition contains a cornucopia of scholarly insights that compare these newly unearthed tales by Dr John H. Watson to the classic adventures from the Canon of Sherlock Holmes.

Book Description
64 new traditional Holmes adventures in three simultaneously published volumes In 2018, MX Publishing presented Parts XI and XII of this acclaimed and ongoing series, Some Untold Cases. Now that theme is revisited with 64 new Sherlock Holmes adventures that explore those many tantalizing references to some of Holmes's other cases, as mentioned in The Canon. “Somewhere in the vaults of the bank of Cox and Co., at Charing Cross, there is a travel-worn and battered tin dispatch box with my name, John H. Watson, M.D., Late Indian Army, painted upon the lid. It is crammed with papers, nearly all of which are records of cases to illustrate the curious problems which Mr. Sherlock Holmes had at various times to examine . . . .” - Dr. John H. Watson So wrote Dr. Watson in “The Problem of Thor Bridge” - and ever since, Sherlockians have been seeking to know more about these tales from the legendary tin dispatch box. While Watson's original Literary Agent only edited the pitifully few sixty stories that make up the original Canon, there have since been literally thousands of traditional adventures about the true Sherlock Holmes - and yet there will never be enough! Throughout the original Holmes Canon, there were hints and teases of other intriguing cases - The Giant Rat of Sumatra . . . The Abernetty Tragedy . . . The Manor House Case. Watson mentions well over one-hundred of these, which have collectively come to be known as The Untold Cases. Now, once again MX Publishing brings us sixty-four of these adventures in three simultaneously published volumes, with all royalties going to support the Stepping Stones School at Undershaw, 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.” Each volume contains forwards by Otto Penzler, Roger Johnson, Stepping Stones School, Steve Emecz, and David Marcum, as well as stories by the following contributors: S.F. Bennett, William Todd, Geri Schear, Susan Knight, David Marcum, Bob Bishop, Tracy J. Revels, Chris Chan, Richard Paolinelli, Derrick Belanger, Stephen Mason, Leslie Charteris and Denis Green, Tim Symonds, Liese Sherwood-Fabre, Ian Ableson, Chris Chan, Mark Mower, Robert Stapleton, Roger Riccard, Kevin P. Thornton, and Denis O. Smith, and a poem by Christopher James
