The Dancing Men part 2

i think that the short story form is best for the mystery and detective genre in particular as it allows the development of intrigue and interest in such a brief period of time. i think that one of the essences of mystery is thrill and suspense, which, yes, can be built over a long time within a novel-length story, but i think that mystery short stories definitely have a charm that full-length mysteries, although wonderful, don't possess.

i mean, one of the first, argued to be *the* first, forms of a modern mystery is edgar allan poe's "the murder in rue morgue", a short story. another icon of mysteries is the sherlock holmes stories, the vast majority of which are short stories. the father of mysteries in japan, edogawa rampo-san, mostly wrote short stories and rarely any novels.

the mystery genre is aptly suited for short stories, and short stories are, in my opinion at least, the best form of mysteries

rejoining sherlock fandom but this time instead of kinning a cool, cold, detective whos good at puzzles im just discovering that im autistic

fuck hot girl summer. about to have a they might be giants autumn.

"to me, the sherlock holmes stories are about a great friendship. without watson, holmes might well have burnt out on cocaine long ago. i hope the series shows how important friendship is." -jeremy brett

The reason Sherlock & Co is the best modern Sherlock adaptation is they’re the only ones that get a 21st century version of the mildly autistic self employed detective is not “emotionless suave supercomputer” but “high school dropout who eats buttered pasta for every meal”
