My favorite Sherlock Holmes Pastiche Authors

A list for those who have run out of Holmes stories to read

Pastiche (Noun):

A literary, artistic, musical, or architectural work that imitates the style of previous work.

Lyndsay Faye- Writes both novels and short stories. Excellent at portraying canon Holmes accurately while also portraying emotional moments well; puts an excellently written focus on the friendship between Sherlock and Watson, has a book set from the point of view of minor characters in the canon that matches the books very well.

Bonnie MacBird- A pastiche novelist. Another writer that does well at inserting more intensely emotional moments into the story and writes more into the daily life of being a flatmate with Sherlock Holmes into her books.

Nicholas Meyer- Sherlock Holmes novelist responsible for some of the most famous pastiches of the modern era including “The Seven-Per-Cent Solution”, a deeper non-canonical look into Sherlock’s psyche featuring Sigmund Freud. Willing to put Watson and Holmes through the wringer physically and emotionally; excellent at writing more suspenseful and stirring stories. He also brings non-canonical depth and insight to the time surrounding Watson’s second marriage, creating a what-if scenario that some may enjoy.

more authors under the cut

James Lovegrove- Novelist. I enjoy how he references other genres and historical events in his stories, such as Sherlock facing off against a superpowered take on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine. His stories are entirely original while written close to the canon’s vibes.

Sam Siciliano- Novelist currently writing under the “Further adventures of Sherlock Holmes” series, while one could argue his stories are a series in their own right. Rather than being stuck writing in Watson’s perspective- which can be a challenge to prevent alienating certain readers, since imitating a set narrator’s writing style while attempting an original take can be a challenge- he writes from the point of view of an original character- Sherlock’s cousin, Henry Vernier- allowing him to create an original feel to the narrative without it feeling unlike a Sherlock Holmes story

Anthony Horowitz- A veteran author in his own right, he has the unusual honor of having a novel of his endorsed by the estate of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Despite only having two novels set in the Holmes universe, his experience in writing mystery and suspense stories shines through his works in a previously invented world.

Happy reading!

Day After, Nicholas Meyer, 1983

[viewfromthelake]

Ten years ago I went to a temporary Star Trek exhibit at the University of Iowa Main Library. They are the keepers of Nicholas Meyers' papers, and they also have a massive collection of zines - Star Trek and otherwise. I got to see Nicholas Meyer talk in the auditorium. He shared a lot of great Star Trek memories as well as Iowa City memories. He had some mysterious project he had some sort of involvement in that he wasn't allowed to talk about called Star Trek: Discovery.
