There are many. Go to this link and look at the nine pages of "Customers Who Bought This Also Bought." Stephanie's favorite writer, Michael Chabon, wrote "The Final Solution" with Holmes as a very old recluse, which I read and enjoyed. Perhaps the best-known post-ACD story is "The Seven-Percent Solution" by Nicholas Meyer, which was also a pretty good movie.
There are of course many versions of the original canon in print. The best is the recent 1878 page two-volume annotated set.
From the Publisher's Weekly blurb: Sherlockians and more casual Holmes fans alike will delight in this comprehensive edition of the 56 original short adventures featuring the world's first private consulting detective. Modeling his efforts on William S. Baring-Gould's 1968 Annotated Sherlock Holmes, Klinger (The Sherlock Holmes Reference Library) packs as many extras into these two volumes as a special director's cut DVD: detailed essays on subjects as diverse as the Boer War and the history of rugby, illuminating citations to early drafts of Doyle's original manuscripts,and full discussions of the numerous theories developed over more than a century concerning ambiguities, contradictions and unresolved issues in the stories. Those new to such scholarship will be fascinated by the sophisticated multidisciplined approach, much of it based on close readings and historical research similar to Bible study. The synthesis of the commentaries will engage veteran Sherlockians, who will be able to compare hypotheses concerning, for example, the true identity of the king of Bohemia or Holmes's actual whereabouts during the Great Hiatus.
The four novels have now been added in a third volume (on my Christmas list).
