| - As in the 1902 novel The Hound of the Baskervilles, in "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire", the brilliant consulting detective Sherlock Holmes is asked for advice in a matter which at first appears to involve supernatural happenings. Holmes is quick to rule out the possibility of anything paranormal having occurred. However, he is aware that a serious crime has been committed and quickly realizes who the guilty party is. The story is notable for including the only reference in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's writings to "the giant rat of Sumatra", which Sherlock Holmes says is, "a story for which the world is not yet prepared". This mythical "missing case" has sparked the imagination of Holmes fans, it has been referred to in several adaptations to other media of Sherlock Holmes stories and other authors have written their own versions of it. "The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire" has been adapted for British television and radio.
