This novel was first published in the Strand Magazine between September 1914 and May 1915. The first edition in book format was published in New York on February 27, 1915. The name of The Valley of Terror is a translation of the name of a valley in the south of France. During the time of the crusades this valley was popularized by the Cathars, and some believe that the Holy Grail got there from the Holy Land. Actually, The Valley of Terror is not a novel but two set together. The two novels that compose it, The tragedy of Birlstone and The chirrioneros (, can be read separately from each other. Although the protagonist is the same and the events of the first are a consequence of the second, both have total independence. two factorsFirst, the structure of the book that is divided into two parts of the same number of chapters and similar length, in addition to the essential epilogue. Secondly, that both parties, although Holmes appears in one and not in the other, are excellent. I have to mention that Los Chirrioneros, could figure itself as one of the best detective fictions ever written.
