alrght what i was able to elementary watson is that there is this total madman Joseph Lewis who just straight up copy pasted a random part of A Study In Scarlet into his horror anthology and called it The Avengers. It just cuts off in the middle of chapter 5, not even on the chapter, the audacity, totally something I would have done.

and he done the same with a few others there, but The Avengers was just the funniest and I had to look it up.

Meanwhile chat gpt:

Yes, now I see what you're referring to! You're talking about The Avengers by Arthur Conan Doyle, which is not related to the famous Marvel superhero team, but rather a short story collection. This is a collection of adventure stories written by Doyle featuring a group of "avengers"—characters who are on a mission to seek justice or vengeance, in a manner similar to modern-day vigilantes.

These stories were published as part of a book titled The Adventures of the "Avengers" (or The Avengers), and were separate from his more well-known works like Sherlock Holmes. It’s an example of Doyle experimenting with broader genres outside of detective fiction, focusing on intrigue, crime, and often supernatural themes.

In this series, the characters aren't typically superheroes in the sense we think of today, but rather ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances, often involving moral dilemmas and justice-seeking.
