He is a noted literary editor and annotator of classic genre fiction, including the Sherlock Holmes stories and the novel Dracula as well as Neil Gaiman's ''The Sandman'' comics and the stories of H. P. Lovecraft. ==Publications== He is the editor of ''The New Annotated Sherlock Holmes'', a three book edition of all of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes fiction with extensive annotations, "hailed as the definitive exegesis of Holmes and his times;" the book won an Edgar Award. He also edited the scholarly ten-volume ''Sherlock Holmes Reference Library,'' a heavily annotated edition of the entire Sherlock Holmes canon, and ''The New Annotated Dracula'', an annotated version of Bram Stoker's novel. In 2011, he co-edited with Laurie R. King ''The Grand Game'', a two-volume collection of classical Sherlockian scholarship, published by The Baker Street Irregulars, and ''A Study in Sherlock'', a collection of stories by all-star writers inspired by the Sherlock Holmes tales (Random House). Klinger and King edited another collection, ''In the Company of Sherlock Holmes,'' with more stories by great writers inspired by the Holmes canon, which was published by Pegasus Books in 2014. Klinger also wrote a short story, "The Closing," for that collection, his first fiction to be published in book form. Klinger and King are currently editing a third volume of stories for Pegasus, to be published in 2016. The first two volumes of ''The Annotated Sandman'', a four-volume edition of Neil Gaiman's award-winning ''The Sandman'' comics, for DC Comics, appeared in 2012; the third volume was published in 2014, and the fourth volume is scheduled for publication in 2015. Klinger also edited ''The New Annotated H. P. Lovecraft'' for Liveright/W. W. Norton, a massive illustrated collection of heavily-annotated stories, published in 2014. He announced that his next book (also for Norton) will be ''The New Annotated Frankenstein'', to be published in October 2017, in time for the 200th anniversary of Shelley's work.

He served as a consultant on the 2009 film ''Sherlock Holmes'' starring Robert Downey, Jr. and on the sequel, ''Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows'', released in 2011, as well as a number of other film scripts and comic book adaptations of the Holmes and Dracula stories. In 2011, Klinger edited two collections of classic fiction, ''In the Shadow of Dracula'' and ''In the Shadow of Sherlock Holmes'', both from IDW. A third collection, ''In the Shadow of Edgar Allan Poe: Classic Horror, 1810-1916'', will be published by Pegasus Books in 2015. Klinger recently announced that, together with Laura Caldwell, a well-known writer and law professor at Loyola University Chicago and founder-director of (Life After Innocence ), he will be editing an anthology tentatively titled ''Anatomy of Innocence,'' to be published by Liveright/W. W. Norton in 2016. The anthology will tell the stories of exonerees—individuals wrongfully incarcerated for crimes they did not commit—as told to major thriller writers. All profits will be donated to Life After Innocence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Leslie S. Klinger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
