"The Adventure of the Sussex Vampire" is one of twelve Sherlock Holmes stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and collected in "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes" between 1921 and 1927. It was first published in January 1924 in The Strand Magazine in London and Hearst's International in New York.
In this story, Mr. Robert Ferguson visits Sherlock Holmes, worried that his second wife from Peru is harming their baby by sucking its blood. Holmes investigates and discovers it's not about vampires but family problems. The tale unfolds sadly, revealing family conflicts, hidden grudges, and a sense of disappointment. While there's a hint of mystery, the story takes a more downbeat turn, showing how family issues can be complicated and unsettling. Conan Doyle's storytelling skill is evident in this quietly powerful exploration of deception and family struggles.
