Thank Holmes It's Friday - May 15th - Birthday Celebrations

It is that time again! Thank Holmes It's Friday. Today, we find ourselves exactly one week away from May 22nd—the anniversary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s birth and International Sherlock Holmes Day.

This month also holds a special significance for our library. It has now been one year since we published the final installments (Volumes XLIX to LII) of The MX Book of New Sherlock Holmes Stories. While this series had already long been established as the largest collection of its kind in the world, the completion of these final volumes cemented a legacy that stands as a definitive tribute to Sir Arthur’s legendary creation.

A Monumental Achievement

This collection is more than just a series of books; it is a global effort to keep the traditional Holmesian canon alive.

The Scale: A staggering 52 volumes containing over 1,000 new mysteries.

The Contributors: More than 200 authors from around the world brought their unique voices to Baker Street.

The Impact: Through your support, we have raised over $165,000 for Undershaw - preserving Conan Doyle’s former home while providing a vital learning environment for children with special educational needs.

"The gold standard for new Holmesian fiction. Marcum and his team have created a library that feels as though it was plucked straight from Watson’s battered tin dispatch box."

The Sherlock Holmes Society of London

The Mission Continues

At MX Publishing, our goal is to ensure the Great Detective’s adventures never end. We take great pride in working with world-class authors to bring new Holmesian chronicles to the page, keeping the gas lamps burning for readers everywhere.

The reach of the Sherlockian world has never been greater. In the last 12 months alone, we have released over 40 new titles, many of which were made possible through the support of the Kickstarter community. When you back these projects, you aren’t just buying a book—you are the vital engine behind the genre, providing the momentum needed to ensure there is always a fresh mystery on the horizon.

We invite you to step into our two latest investigations and help us bring these new stories to the community:
