I Hear of Sherlock Everywhere

There’s a Sherlock Holmes fest going on this weekend at The Tainted Archive, where author-actor Gary Dobbs presents interviews, features, stories, and reviews.

Some of the highlights thus far: a rundown of unlikely Holmes portrayers; Evan Lewis’ critique of Sherlock Holmes, Jr., starring Buster Keaton; a review of the 1944 Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce film, The Scarlet Claw; Hard Case Crime editor Charles Ardai on The Valley of Fear as hard-boiled detective fiction; the full text of “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” (1892); a review of The Mammoth Book of New Sherlock Holmes Adventures, edited by Mike Ashley; a peek at the forthcoming film, Sherlock Holmes; and the entire Holmes canon reviewed in several parts (look for Part I, Part II, Part III, Part IV, Part V, Part VI, and Part VII).

Dobbs promises that more posts are yet come. Stay tuned.
