The Lantern Men.
That was dark. If Edgar Allan Poe had written Sherlock Holmes... And decided to set it in Australia.

The Small World of 221B is a suitably weird story that I found myself enjoying a lot more than I expected.
The Final Conjuration makes no attempt to re-imagine Holmes, preferring to plonk him unaltered into a high fantasy setting, to brilliant effect.

A Woman's Place was absolutely brilliant -- a near-future Holmes that finally explains why Mrs Hudson puts up with him.
A Study in Scarborough didn't really work for me.

The Rich Man's Hand was too much of a supernatural story to really fit with Sherlock Holmes.

The Enlightenment era Holmes in Black Alice was superb. This felt like a near-perfect setting for the great detective and I would love to see more like this.
The 1970s Holmes in The Adventure of the Speckled Bandana was a lot of fun, as much for the hints at previous adventures as for the story itself.

First story: A Scandal in Hobohemia
Interesting. I'm still not quite sure what to make of it, mainly because it feels more like a first chapter than a short story.
