Vampirism in Hungary - But without the vampirism. Probably,I mean the Hungarian Sherlock Holmes Club, founded and run by Zsófia Marincsák, Edina Jászberényi and Adrienn Fray, whose English language website at www.sherlockian-sherlock.com is quite exceptional.

I HEAR OF SHERLOCK EVERYWHERE: Matt Laffey

Sherlockian-Sherlock put together a video documenting the most common misconceptions about Sherlock Holmes, based on their previously mentioned article "The Most Common Misconceptions About Sherlock Holmes". Though I don't agree with every item on here, I would suggest this list to be mandatary reading for any mainstream news outlet planning on running a segment about the recent upsurge in Holmes popularity. ("Quick Watson, the remote!")

" Sherlockian-Sherlock is a relatively new Sherlockian website started earlier this year by three intrepid Hungarians (though the site is in English). I stumbled on it while perusing Chris Redmond's recent updates to the 'Online Resources' section of Sherlockian.net. Initially drawn to the intriguing cadence of “Sherlockian Sherlock Dot Com” after further exploration it is quite the promising web destination for Holmes and ACD enthusiasts. The website's editors/creators - make no mistake, Sherlockian Sherlock is an actual website and not a blog or a Web 2.0-inspired creation - have a particular fascination with Sherlock Holmes art, the dispelling of common misbeliefs related to Holmes, actors who have donned the deerstalker and the science behind the Great Detective. I encourage you to add Sherlockian-Sherlock to your bookmarks posthaste. "

" Sherlockian Sherlock - everyone’s favorite Hungarian Holmes website - not only keeps the memory of the Great Detective green, but is also concerned with keeping said memory true and accurate. In “Common misbeliefs about Sherlock Holmes” the authors tackle 24 widespread misbeliefs and misconceptions about Sherlock Holmes. Misconceptions dispelled range from serious accusations such as ‘Holmes was racist’ or ‘Holmes used drugs all the time’ to the slightly more mundane like ‘Holmes was a handsome man’ or ‘Holmes was untidy’. Slightly more controversial topics tackled include Holmes’ religious beliefs and Holmes’ sexual orientation; though many are classic Sherlockian topics such as Holmes’ ontological status, the origins of “Elementary, my dear Watson” and whether or not Holmes had Asperger’s Syndrome. Perhaps the most timely issue addressed is whether adaptations which depict Holmes in a contemporary setting damage or detract from the essence of Sherlock Holmes. Whether you agree or disagree with the various points, you’ll certainly appreciate the sincerity and seriousness in which these Hungarian Sherlockians defend their beliefs. "

SHERLOCK-HOLMES.COM:

" A most impressive and interesting web site. "

" I must say, the more I peruse your web site, the more impressed I am. It is a remarkable work second to none we have seen. Thank you, too, for making it available in English for those of us who are “Language challenged.” There is an old joke that goes: If a person speaks three languages, he is trilingual; if a person speaks two languages, they are bilingual; if a person speaks only one language, he is an American. "

on the Website:

" These are the first Hungarian Sherlockians whom it has been our pleasure to know! We do hope you will visit their web site, which was, in their words, created, "since our Hungarian Holmes site intrigued people who do not speak the language, it encouraged us to have an English version." It is a most impressive work of the webmaster's art. We do invite, indeed, encourage, you to take a look at their site (CLICK HERE) and to GO HERE to meet the talented people who have published these remarkable documents, and Zsófia has become our first Hungarian E-Times subscriber!
