    Dealings of Captain Sharkey and Other Stories of Pirates by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Notorious pirates who are the scourge of the seven seas, and on land; ghost stories which scare voyagers in the jungles and the ice caps; two ships located in a fatal fight volleying broadsides as if their life depends upon it (which it does); and mysteries on land and the ocean… Sir Arthur Conan Doyle takes you on a journey with 12 tales as unique and mysterious from one another as were ever collected about those pirates we have come to love…and fear. With enough imagination, cunning and murder to entertain everyone from a salty dog to Ahab’s wife.

  • Four Noncanonical Sherlock Holmes Short Stories-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Four Noncanonical Sherlock Holmes Short Stories-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    Nov 9 2026
    Four Noncanonical Sherlock Holmes Short Stories by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Although the Sherlock Holmes canon traditionally consists of four novels and 56 short stories written by Arthur Conan Doyle, there are many Sherlock Holmes stories outside the canon. Most of these noncanonical stories were written by authors other than Doyle, but there are four short stories about Holmes written by Doyle that are nonetheless excluded from the canon, for various reasons. The first story, "The Field Bazaar", was first published in 1896 in a special issue of a University of Edinburgh student newspaper called The Student. Doyle wrote this very brief story to support a fundraising event at the university, his alma mater, but most scholars consider the story to be a parody and therefore not part of the canon.

  • Scandal in Bohemia-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Scandal in Bohemia-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    Nov 8 2026
    Scandal in Bohemia by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    This story, found in The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, is one of the best in my opinion. Is it possible for the machine like brain of this genius to be foiled? Has Holmes finally met his match? And surely it is not by a lowly woman who outwits him! In this story Holmes meets a woman whom forever after he refers to as "THE" woman so anything is possible. Listen and enjoy as he matches wits with 'THE' woman and comes out on the losing end. Let Dr. Watson, his faithful companion, explain how he deals with this err ....problem.

  • Silver Blaze-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

    Silver Blaze-Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
    Nov 6 2026
    Silver Blaze by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    A famous race horse disappears a week before an important race; the trainer is found dead on the desolate moor and the police are completely baffled. Naturally the owner and the police turn to Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson to help unravel the tangled threads of this mystery. Which he does in his usual imaginative and yet logical way. I think this is one of the best Sherlock stories by Doyle. We are given the clues and yet cannot see them until Sherlock slowly puts them together. Very enjoyable.

    Poison Belt by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

    Three years after the events that took place in The Lost World ( ), Professor Challenger urgently summons his fellow explorers (Professor Summerlee, Lord John Roxton, and reporter E.D.

What he soon informs them is that from astronomical data and just-received telegraphs of strange accidents on the other side of the world, he has deduced that the Earth is starting to move through a region of space containing something poisonous to humankind. Shutting themselves tightly up in Challenger's house, they start to consider what may be done. But as their countrymen start to drop, will their oxygen last long enough to determine and implement a solution?
