Wodehouse did love Doyle's work especially Sherlock Holmes novels. He probably loved them more than Doyle. The big difference is Doyle got sick of Holmes eventually and while Wodehouse never did of Jeeves or Wooster. #Wodehouse #conandoyle

I'm reading Conan Doyle lately, and he writes too many racist things, too often. It's getting really annoying. But I guess many were very racist at that time, in that place, so he was your average racist by those standards. I understand the point in favor of redacting offensive parts, in particular in the case of literature meant for entertaining, like Conan Doyle's. #conandoyle

The Woman in Green (1945), the 11th Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes movie and a good, rather dark, film. An original story that borrows elements from several Conan Doyle tales. London is terrorised by Jack the Ripper copycat murders.

My review: https://dfordoom-movieramblings.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-woman-in-green-1945.html

WARLOCK HOLMES, by G.S. Denning, contains one short novel and five short stories: "A Study in Brimstone", where Dr Watson meets the dimwitted wizard Warlock #Holmes and surly vampire detective Lestrade; "The Adventure of the Resident Sacrifice", which introduces the cast (and we learn that Holmes has somehow consumed Moriarty's soul); and four similar take-offs on the Canon. Some of the jokes feel a lot like #TerryPratchett, and the author is clearly a #ConanDoyle fan who's paid close attention to the stories. The joke may wear thin over several books -- this series is now 5 books long -- but I enjoyed it a lot, and this first book ends with a pivot that means I'll at least read the next one. (3/5) #fantasy #books

Mark Gatiss stars as Sherlock Holmes with Sanjeev Bhaskar as Dr Watson.
“Standing over Hugo Baskerville, and plucking at his throat, there stood a foul thing, a great, black beast, shaped like a hound, yet larger than any hound that ever mortal eye has rested upon.”
Recorded at the Barbican Hall, London on December 20th 2022.

The Observer - The Phantom Flyer in 'Nope'

@d4doome @sfphotogirl The idea slipped into #UFO speculation - #folklore - #mythos. #Sciencefiction #SpeculativeFiction ##ForteanPhenomena
* European aristocrat, spiritualist medium Countess Zoe-Wassilko-Serecki - posited that UFOs might actually be “creatures from the stratosphere.” She suspected they were specially adapted to live in such an extreme environment, & sustained themselves on forms of raw energy.*

No mention of #ConanDoyle in the article. 🤔 😄

Was hatten die beiden Schriftsteller #AlbertCamus und Sir Arthur #ConanDoyle gemeinsam? Sie fingen nicht nur Gedanken für ihre Texte, sondern auch Bälle ⚽️- als Torhüter in Algerien bzw. England... #ulbtirol

I'm a sci-fi fan but my tastes are strictly old school. I don't read anything written since the 90s. And not much written since the 60s, apart from some of the cyberpunk writers.

One of the first sci-fi novels I read was Arthur C. Clarke's The City and the Stars and I still regard it as one of the half dozen best sci-fi novels of all time.

Some writers I like -
