      This happened to Ian Fleming too. He tried to release a western and people were just like “What the fuck is this? Where’s James Bond?” and it failed badly. He wasn’t that upset about it though, he was far too wealthy by that point to be all that upset that 1 book didn’t sell.

    2. his other work was being overshadowed and he wanted to write other stories but sherlock was too popular.

    3. He probably wanted to write a lot of spiritualist fiction, because he was *really* invested in the spiritualism craze.
