“a line of books” [NOBL]&nbsp;    &nbsp;   Derrick Belanger is one half of the duo responsible for Belanger Books, one of the prominent Sherlockian publishers, founded in 2015. His passion for Sherlock Holmes began uncommonly — in a way we can't ever recall hearing from a guest before. But that passion fueled the founding and direction of Belanger Books, which focuses on traditional Sherlock Holmes pastiches as well as the Solar Pons stories. Many of the titles on Belanger Books began as Kickstarter efforts, and the latest volume, Steel True, Blade Straight is an annual journal of Sherlock Holmes- and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle-inspired stories, poems, and scholarship and is endorsed by the ACD Society. We also have listener mail, Sherlockian news, and of course the&nbsp;Canonical Couplet, which features as a prize your choice of a book from the Belanger Books catalog.

A Christmas Story Without Slush

“you have a good dossier there” [LAST]          

There were supernatural elements in the original Sherlock Holmes stories. Elements of gothic intrigue like voodoo, a possible vampire, a family curse, and a spectral hound come to mind.

 So when Christian Klaver looked at the intersection of his interests in sci-fi, fantasy, Sherlock Holmes, and writing, it was only natural to find some existing and contemporary examples and bring them to life. Thus was born The Classified Dossier of Sherlock Holmes series from Titan Books.

 Christian shares stories of these passions with us, bringing us from his childhood inspiration to the Universal monsters, Cthulhu, and more. And we find ourselves back in 1890s London with Oscar Wilde and Conan Doyle for the third entry in the Dossier: Sherlock Holmes and Dorian Gray.

We even got Christian to spill his plans for his next series of books, so you'll want to tune in to hear about that.

And if you are chosen as a winner of this Canonical Couplet quiz,  you'll get a copy of Christian's new book!

The Classified Dossier of Sherlock Holmes

“those week-end parties” [SOLI]&nbsp;    &nbsp;   The Baker Street Irregulars just marked their 90th anniversary with the BSI Weekend, filled with events for Sherlockians of all kinds. If you weren't able to make it to New York — or even if you were! — tune in to hear about some of the events, people, books, and more that were part of our experience. And plan ahead for other events in the year ahead. After all, it's meeting up with other kinsprits that make this little hobby so special. Our first&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;quiz of Season 18 is here, and that means it's your chance to participate and see if you can win yourself something from the IHOSE vaults or the BSI Weekend.

BSI Weekend Recap

“a most complete and remarkable woman” [LION]&nbsp;    &nbsp;   It's odd to think that the Mary Russell series predates this show, yet we've never spoken with Laurie R. King, BSI ("The Red Circle") specifically about her most acclaimed series. The 18th book in the Mary Russell series, The Lantern's Dance, is available on February 14, and Ms. King joined us to talk about her creation. Her familiarity with Sherlock Holmes is far from typical, and this unusual pairing of Ms. Russell and Mr. Holmes, which began with The Beekeeper's Apprentice in 1994, is as fresh and resilient as ever. We talk about the development of the Sherlock Holmes character in her series, the impact of India, how fandom has responded and grown, and discover at which major events Laurie will be appearing this year.&nbsp; The&nbsp;Canonical Couplet quiz is back, and it's an&nbsp;easy one! The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will win a copy of The Lantern's Dance. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by February 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

The Lantern's Dance

“to Sherlock Holmes, she is always the woman” [SCAN]&nbsp;      This is a fascinating episode that brings us closer to the inside story of "The Woman" — an honor bestowed every year by the Baker Street Irregulars — and a bit of personal history from one of those very women. Beverly Wolov is a longtime Sherlockian and is well-known by the Sherlockian community as a longtime companion of Peter Blau, BSI ("Black Peter"). You've heard from Peter on four episodes previously (links to those below), but now you have an opportunity to hear about Bev's role — in particular how her journey is bookended by Michael Kean, "Wiggins" of the BSI. Bev does a wonderful job of bringing us back in time and helping us understand how The Woman is selected, what has happened at their dinners and how the proceedings have evolved, and even shares a bit of the tradition with us.&nbsp;&nbsp; We have the&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;quiz again.&nbsp;The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will win a copy of the 2022 Baker Street Journal Christmas Annual: Women on the Periphery of teh BSI, 1940–1960.

A History of the Woman

“some short sketch of the essentials” [BLAC]&nbsp;&nbsp;   &nbsp;   What are the essential volumes that every Sherlockian should have in their library? John Bennett Shaw had an idea with what became known as&nbsp;. But a more modest and attainable version was needed. In stepped Peter Eckrich and Rob Nunn, BSI (“Elementary”). IHOSE listeners may recall Peter and Rob from their previous work,&nbsp;. This time, they collected individuals who had a strong view as to which Sherlockian books ought to be part of every Sherlockian's library to develop 17 recommendations that make up&nbsp;. The 17 essays (a Canonically-appropriate number) are each a window into the interests, passion, and knowledge that the authors bring to their subjects, which range from some early Sherlockian scholarship to some latter-day must-haves. We have the&nbsp;Canonical Couplet&nbsp;quiz again.&nbsp;The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will win a copy&nbsp;Canonical Cornerstones.&nbsp;Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by March 29, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EST.

Canonical Cornerstones

Hounds of the Hollywood Baskervilles

“That was the curious incident” [SILV]

From time to time, we see analysis and debate about whether Sherlock Holmes was autistic, had Aspergers Syndrome, or is in some other way on the spectrum. 

As neurodiversity becomes more understood and accepted in the 21st century, it seems natural to explore this not only with Holmes, but with other characters in the genre as well.

In The Autistic Sleuth, Christopher Chan and Patricia Meyer Chan, Ph.D., test the question: Is the entertainment industry celebrating neurodiversity or is it reinforcing stereotypes? They analyze how two dozen characters appearing in filmed productions from around the globe who are presented as atypical minds. 

We have Sherlockian news, as well as another round of the Canonical Couplet quiz. It's a super-easy one this time. The winner, chosen at random from all correct answers, will receive a copy of the The Autistic Sleuth. Send your answer to comment @ ihearofsherlock .com by May 14, 2024 at 11:59 a.m. EDT. All listeners are eligible to play.
