Requirements: .ePUB reader, 574 KB
Overview: The Diogenes Club was first introduced in Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes story, “The Greek Interpreter.” Holmes’s smarter brother Mycroft Holmes was a member of the club, about which Sherlock said, “The Diogenes Club is the queerest club in London, and Mycroft one of the queerest men.” We learn little about the club in that first appearance, getting only the following description from Sherlock:
“There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger’s Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere.”
From the 1860s to the present, these are the accounts of the Diogenes Club, whose agents solve crimes too strange for Britain’s police, protecting the realm and this entire plane of existence from occult menaces, threats born in other dimensions, magical perfidy and the Deep Dark Deadly Ones. Kim Newman continues the series began in The Man From the Diogenes Club, revealing more of the secrets of the British Empire’s most secret service.
