Hi everyone,

Every year for Veteran's Day we always have a fundraiser to benefit The Fisher House Foundation. The Fisher House Foundation is a nonprofit which builds comfort homes where military & veterans families can stay free of charge, while a loved one is in the hospital. Belanger Books has now donated thousands of dollars to their cause.

What we do: For Veteran's Day, we donate a portion of our royalties to The Fisher House Foundation from all of our book sales (ebook, paperback, and hardcover). To help push sales, a select number of our ebooks are FREE for Veteran's Day weekend (from November 10 - 14 this year) and a number of our limited edition items on our website are on SALE!

 To help the Fisher House, please consider purchasing one of our books, or donating directly to The Fisher House Foundation at this link.

The Nefarious Villains of Sherlock Holmes Volume II




Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson! The names of the world’s greatest detective and his stalwart friend conjure up images of Victorian London, gaslit streets, hansom cabs, and dense fogs.
But there was more to the story than these heroes. There were the villains who dared to stand against them, carrying out their vile plans and evil schemes.

Who were these sinners, malefactors, and criminals? We only know the barest details, as provided to us from Watson’s pen in the very few sixty stories of the original Sherlockian Canon. Now, with this new volume from Belanger Books, we investigate further – into the lives and deeds and motivations of these Nefarious Villains of Sherlock Holmes.

In these two volumes are twenty four stories examining the best known villains – Professor Moriarty, for instance, and Colonel Moran, and Dr. Grimesby Roylott – and some others who might not be quite as famous, but who were just as vexing to the Detective and Doctor . . . names like Culverton Smith, Baron Maupertuis, and Abe Slaney.

Discover their histories and find out the events behind the stories that you think you know. Settle back for an exceptional Holmes anthology, and a walk along the Dark Side of the Canon . . . .

The game is afoot!

Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson become embroiled in one of the most famous murder cases in history!

Holmes and Watson are on holiday in the United States, when they receive an urgent letter requesting their assistance:

Once again, I find myself being accused of a murder that I did not commit… I hope that your sense of justice will prevail, and that you will come to the aid of an innocent woman in her time of distress.

Signed by none other than the infamous Lizzie Borden!

Despite the warnings of the locals, it’s not long before the Great Detective and his Boswell find themselves in Fall River, Massachusetts; their every step hampered by belligerent townsfolk and an unfriendly police force. Why is their client so cold and aloof? What secrets lie within the original Borden house? Did Lizzie really get away with murder? Holmes is determined to bring the guilty party to justice – even if that person is his client!

Author Joe DeSantis delivers another gripping Holmes adventure with a supernatural twist. Get it by CLICKING HERE!

  • an ingenious villain, scheming against the heroic Professor Moriarty
  • a woman
  • a robot
  • trapped in a version of the Twilight Zone

The Necronomicon of Solar Pons



From Sherlock Holmes to the Cthulhu Mythos

August Derleth introduced the world to Solar Pons and Dr. Lyndon Parker in the 1920's. Pons, like Sherlock Holmes, solved crimes using deduction and ratiocination, often referring to Holmes as “The Master” or “My illustrious predecessor”. Since his first appearance, Pons has been a favorite with Sherlockians.

In the 1930's, Derleth coined the term "Cthulhu Mythos" to describe the weird fiction written by the writers in the Lovecraft circle. After Lovecraft died in 1937, Derleth created Arkham House Publishing to make certain Lovecraft and other writers of the Cthulhu mythos, himself included, remained in print. Derleth wrote a number of tales of the Cthulhu mythos including The Mask of Cthulhu, The Trail of Cthulhu, and The Watchers Out of Time (collaborating with Lovecraft).

Now, for the first time ever, the estate of August Derleth has authorized a one of a kind anthology combining Derleth's Solar Pons, the Sherlock Holmes of Praed Street, with his Cthulhu Mythos and horror tales.

Join us in the foggy streets of early 20th Century London where horror is lurking on the streets and also at the veil of reality.

Nine new tales of terror and detection including:

The Rondure of Cthulhu by Stephen Herczeg - Solar Pons must solve the mystery of a man seemingly torn to shreds by invisible forces.

The Meandering Mathematician by Robert Perret - A mathematician's strange disappearance leads to visions of an otherworldly realm, a witch, and a sinister rat with a human face.

A Matter of Blood by Nick Cardillo - Dr. Seward brings Pons a case involving a a notorious Transylvanian Count. Fans of Stoker's Dracula will love this sequel.

To Everything There is a Season by Stephen Persing - The Sherlock Holmes of Praed Street has a Lovecraftian Final Problem.

The Adventure of the Book and the Gate by Eleanor Sciolistein - The Necronomicon is used to access a horrifying power source.

Solar Pons and the Testament in Ice by Jeff Baker - Pons must face an evil Arctic entity.

The Adventure of the Drowned Genealogist by I.A. Watson - How did the body of a recently deceased woman end up in a two century old tomb? It is up to Solar Pons to solve this Dunwich horror.

The Man with the Writhing Skin by David Marcum - Mrs. Velda Knoll, a lecturer on "The Great Old Ones" is being stalked by a man with masses of open sores moving about his skin.

The Devil's Tongue of Blue John Gap by Derrick Belanger - Solar Pons must solve the case of strange symbols mysteriously appearing in the fields of Blue John Gap.

Plus a bonus Sherlock Holmes adventure!
