A Series Campaign · Door A: The Persistent World
The Sherlock Holmes Collection
Two stories. One persistent world. Every choice receipted.
The Collection
A Study in Scarlet (1887) · The Hound of the Baskervilles (1902)
In the first, Watson meets Holmes in a London laboratory and a murder at Lauriston Gardens, off the Brixton Road, becomes their first case together. The second sends them to the Devon moor. Fifteen years apart in publication; the same two men, the same address, the same method. The campaign does not treat these as two separate books. It treats them as one world, shown across two volumes.
The Persistent Canon band below proves it with receipts: verbatim Doyle, one from each book, for every entity that carries across.

Canon annotation · The reveal
Phosphorus
The family curse is a real dog. Watson identifies the supernatural glow at the novel’s climax with a single touch and a single word. The cover and the social pack are both built around this sentence.
