Sherlock Holmes Stories
New Sherlock Holmes stories fall into many categories, including:
- additional Sherlock Holmes stories in the conventional mould;
- Holmes placed in settings of contemporary interest (such as World War II, or the future);
- crossover stories in which Holmes is pitted against other fictional villains (for example vampires);
- explorations of unusual aspects of Holmes' character which are hinted at in Conan Doyle's works (e.g. drug use).

Famous quotes containing the words holmes and/or stories:
““No, no; the real name,” said Holmes sweetly. “It is always awkward doing business with an alias.””
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“If you like to make things out of wood, or sew, or dance, or style people’s hair, or dream up stories and act them out, or play the trumpet, or jump rope, or whatever you really love to do, and you love that in front of your children, that’s going to be a far more important gift than anything you could ever give them wrapped up in a box with ribbons.”
—Fred M. Rogers (20th century)
