In "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" you can read the final twelve stories that Arthur Conan Doyle wrote about his brilliant detective.
It is perhaps the most unusual and certainly the darkest collection that he penned. Treachery, mutilation, and the terrible consequences of infidelity are just some of the themes explored in this collection, along with atmospheric touches of the gothic involving a blood-sucking vampire, crypts at midnight and strange bones in a furnance.

I have been on a Sherlock Holmes spree for the past couple of weeks. I have watched probably 10 movies and am in the process of reading every story that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle ever wrote about Holmes. While Holmes (almost) always solves his case, the stories never seem to grow monotonous. Sir Art...
Even when he's not at his best, Holmes is still good. I had forgotten how dark this collection was.
