About Us
Belanger Books is one of the world’s most prominent Sherlock Holmes publishers. Founded in 2015 on an ever-expanding library of anthologies and novels, our collections have received praise in I Hear of Sherlock and Amazon.com reviews.
Belanger Books is the proud publisher of August Derleth's classic pulp detective Solar Pons. We are officially authorized by Arkham House to not only reprint all of the original stories, but to publish new adventures of this fan-favorite character.
We proudly support The Beacon Society, encouraging teachers, librarians, museum and children’s theatre directors to use Sherlock Holmes to educate and engage; and The Fisher House Foundation, helping military families stay together during medical crises.
