Another week, another Kickstarter. This time around, its Belanger Books' campaign to fund Sherlock Holmes: A Year of Mystery 1891 and 1892. I happen to have stories in both volumes - "Serpents Tooth" in 1891 and "The Lord of the Sheepfolds" in 1892. Both stories feature not Holmes and Watson, but gossipmonger Langdale Pike and his bodyguard, Harrison Stickle. Pike is one of the innumerable side characters who appear offscreen in the Holmes canon. In Pike's case, he was mentioned only once, in "The Adventure of the Three Gables", and was masterfully played by Peter Wyngarde in the Granada Television adaption of the story.
