The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes

The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of short stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle that had originally been published in the Strand Magazine. Much like we like to watch our favorite shows with a new episode every week the Strand published these stories and fans couldnt get enough. Readers not unlike fans today wanted to have a marathon so Doyle published collections allowing them to binge out on their favorite detective. This is the second Sherlock Holmes collection and at the time it was thought to be the last. At the end of the stories Holmes fights Moriarty to the death as they fall from the edge of a cliff into a waterfall. The fandom was strong however and Doyle would eventually succumb to the pressure and bring Sherlock back.
