* Moriarty by Modem, a short story by Jack Nimersheim, describes an alternate history where Babbage's Analytical Engine was indeed completed and had been deemed highly classified by the British government.

When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle killed off his most-beloved character Sherlock Holmes by plunging him to his death over the Reichenbach Falls with his arch nemesis Professor Moriarty, the public's demand for Holmes was so great that Doyle was compelled to bring him back to life in a subsequent story, where he details that Holmes had merely faked his death.

* May 4 – Professor James Moriarty, fictional criminal mastermind of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short story The Final Problem ( b. unknown )

Moriarty does not meet Holmes in this story.

* In Neil Gaiman's Hugo Award winning short story " A Study in Emerald ", the Moriarty and Holmes of an alternate history reverse roles.

Moriarty ( who, though never named as such in the story, is identified as the author of Dynamics of an Asteroid ) is hired to investigate a murder.

Professor Moriarty appeared in a flashback sequence ; a 135-year old Holmes had a brief cameo at the end of the story.

* In a 2006 comic book story featuring Lee Falk's The Phantom, the 19th Phantom has to fight Professor Moriarty.

The climax of the story features the Phantom and Moriarty falling down a waterfall in the Bangalla jungles.

At the end of the story, Moriarty is shown to be alive, as he returns to London to find " a detective named Sherlock Holmes ".

* Moriarty appears in Anne Lear's short story " The Adventure of the Global Traveller " ( 1978 ).

* Moriarty appears in a short story by Donald Thomas, in his collection The Secret Cases of Sherlock Holmes, as the mastermind of a blackmail plot involving the alleged bigamy of Prince George.

Under pressure from the White House and his commander, Brigadier General Hershberg ( Michael Moriarty ), to wrap things up quickly, Serling leaks the story to newspaper reporter Tony Gartner ( Scott Glenn ) to prevent another cover up.

The story also provides an explanation as to the antagonism between Sherlock Holmes and Professor Moriarty.

This story, set in 1891, introduces Holmes's greatest opponent, the criminal mastermind Professor Moriarty.

There were enough holes in eyewitness accounts to allow Conan Doyle to plausibly resurrect Holmes ; only the few free surviving members of Moriarty's organisation and Holmes ' brother Mycroft ( who appears briefly in this story ) know that Sherlock Holmes is still alive, having won the struggle at Reichenbach Falls and sent Moriarty to his death – though nearly meeting his own at the hands of Moriarty's henchmen.

In the 1985 television series The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes starring Jeremy Brett, the story begins with the theft of the Mona Lisa, masterminded by Moriarty in order to sell prepared fakes to collectors.

The story was later adapted for radio by John Kier Cross ; it was broadcast on 17 April 1955 and starred John Gielgud as Holmes, Ralph Richardson as Dr. Watson, and Orson Welles as Professor Moriarty.

Like the story, it ends with Holmes and Moriarty plummeting into the falls, and Watson is shown writing the final sentences of " The Final Problem " on his typewriter.

However, in the film, the characters are attending a European Peace Conference held near the falls which Moriarty seeks to sabotage, and the two plunge down from a balcony overlooking the falls rather than from the ledge of the original story.

In Kim Newman's 2011 book Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D ' Urbervilles, told from the point of view of Col. Sebastian Moran, the story " The Problem of the Final Adventure " reveals that Professor Moriarty's plan had been to lead Sherlock Holmes to destroy Moriarty's rival, the German criminal Doctor Mabuse.

The 1965 Broadway musical Baker Street was loosely based on the story, making Irene Adler into the heroine and adding Professor Moriarty as the villain.

The plot of the short story – Holmes and Watson attempting to recover incriminating photos from Adler – is covered briefly in the first half of the episode updated for the contemporary period ( Adler's photos are stored digitally on her mobile phone ) and adjusted ( the royal they incriminate is British and female ); the episode then moves on to an original storyline that includes Adler, Mycroft Holmes ( Mark Gatiss ) and Jim Moriarty.

The short story " A Shambles in Belgravia " features Professor Moriarty and Irene Adler working to cause a scandal in the Ruritanian government.

It is worth dwelling in some detail on the crisis of this story, because it brings together a number of characteristic elements and makes of them a curious, riddling compound obscurely but centrally significant for Mann's work.

that is, he is suspect, guilty, punishable, as is anyone in Mann's stories who produces illusion, and this is true even though the constant elements of the artist-nature, technique, magic, guilt and suffering, are divided in this story between Jacoby and Lautner.

It is the gradual unfolding and deepening of this contradiction which creates the inner dialectic of the evolution of the mystery story.

It is the growing contradiction between individualism and public service in the mystery story which creates this fatal dilemma.

And the best way to conceal and disguise the elements of an incest story is not to set out to write an incest story.

`` The Rocking Horse Winner '' is also a story about a boy's love for his mother.

It is the story of the hopeless love of a little boy for his cold and vain mother.

The rocking is actually felt in the story, a terrible and ominous rhythm that prophesies the tragedy.

The rocking, I realized, is the single element in the story that carries the erotic message, the unspoken and unconscious undercurrent that would mar the innocence of a child's fantasy and disturb the effects of the work if it were made explicit.

And when the child dies in Lawrence's story in a delirium that is somehow brought on by his mania to win and to make his mother rich, the manifest absurdity of such a disease and such a death does not enter into our thoughts at all.

It is most probable that Freud and the Oedipus complex never entered his head in the writing of this story.

An ivory tablet in the infant's cask recounts the story of his sinful origins and is preserved for the child by the monks of a monastery in the fishing village.

Then he would get to his feet, as though rising in honor of his own remarkable powers, and say almost invariably, `` Gentlemen, this is an amazing story!!

Perhaps it is only an analogy, but one of the most obvious differences between cheap fiction and fiction of an enduring quality is the development of a theme or story with leisure and anticipation.

The complexities of Venetian politics eluded him, but the story of the revolution itself is told in restrained measures, with no superfluous passages and only an occasional overemphasis of the part played by its leading figure.

Once the scene is set, Trevelyan skilfully builds up the tense story until it reaches its climax in the dramatic victory of Marlborough and Eugene of Savoy at Blenheim.

There is, of course, nothing new about dystopias, for they belong to a literary tradition which, including also the closely related satiric utopias, stretches from at least as far back as the eighteenth century and Swift's Gulliver's Travels to the twentieth century and Zamiatin's We, Capek's War With The Newts, Huxley's Brave New World, E. M. Forster's `` The Machine Stops '', C. S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength, and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, and which in science fiction is represented before the present deluge as early as Wells's trilogy, The Time Machine, `` A Story Of The Days To Come '', and When The Sleeper Wakes, and as recently as Jack Williamson's `` With Folded Hands '' ( 1947 ), the classic story of men replaced by their own robots.

Beginning in Cloth Of The Tempest ( 1943 ) he experimented in merging poetry and visual art, using drawings to carry long narrative segments of a story, as in Sleepers Awake, and constructing elaborate `` poems-in-drawing-and-type '' in which it is impossible to distinguish between the `` art '' and the poetry.

The story of the fatal crash is not fully known.
