A multitude of works not authored by Doyle have involved science fiction and supernatural elements. In terms of the Mythos, specifically, the Andy Lane novel All-Consuming Fire also combines Sherlock Holmes with the Mythos. As part of the Virgin New Adventures line, it also takes place in the "Whoniverse" introduced by Doctor Who and stars the Seventh Doctor from that series.
The 2007 adventure game involves the Mythos, Cthulhu specifically. A remastered version appeared in 2008 and a remake in 2023.
