I've discovered a new way to instantly anger me and its to read other people's top ten Sherlock Holmes short stories lists. They praise terrible stories and piss on bangers. I need to chew through something.

#why does everyone like silver blaze #I found it utterly boring #also yes yes copper beeches has a jane eyre feel to it but the whole story is also bizarre and uncomfy #lbr LOTS of holmes is racist and dated and uncomfortable #i can note the inherent racism of speckled band and still enjoy the tension of the story #redheaded league also... fun but hardly a fav #also whys everyone praising final problem and not empty house #final problem is just watson talking about holmes talking about moriatry #fine for Lore Reasons but as a story?? a lil meh #Empty House fucks severely I love it so much
