Meyer wrote two sequels to the novel - 1976's ''The West End Horror'' (which has Holmes interact with [[Creator/GilbertAndSullivan the theatrical]] and [[Creator/GeorgeBernardShaw literary]] community of Victorian London while trying to solve a series of murders), and 1993's ''The Canary Trainer'' (in which he encounters [[Literature/ThePhantomOfTheOpera a certain spectre]] while anonymously playing violin in Paris between the events of the other two books).

''The Seven-Per-Cent Solution'', published in 1974, is a novel-length ''Franchise/SherlockHolmes'' fic by Creator/NicholasMeyer. It's a rewrite of "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House," revealing that the stories (and the three-year [[TimeSkip "Great Hiatus" between them) were really a cover-up for Holmes' descent into drug addiction and recovery.
