“the business in the crypt” [SHOS]
If you experience claustrophobia, this may not be the episode for you. Because it’s all about being shut up in close spaces. And it’s the monthly “Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist” episode.
Denise M. Rogers walks us through the gothic theme shared between Edgar Allan Poe and some of the Sherlock Holmes stories in her Baker Street Miscellanea article “Crypts, Secret Rooms and Subterranean Passageways: Entombment as a Motif in the Canon” from Spring 1990. It’s just a Trifle.

Our Merch Store is open: Trifles mugs, notepads, and oval stickers can be yours (or someone else’s, if you’d like to make it a gift).
Don’t sleep on “Trifling Trifles” — short-form content that doesn’t warrant a full episode. We release these at the beginning of every month. The latest episode is “for those with ears attuned to catch the distant view-halloo!” This is a benefit exclusively for our paying subscribers.
