Publisher Description

Howard Phillips Lovecraft (1890-1937), who wrote as H. P. Lovecraft, was an American author who achieved posthumous acclaim for his outstanding and influential works of horror fiction. 'The Hound' is a terrifying story of two morbid young men who add excitement to their dull lives by robbing graves and creating a macabre museum of ghoulish trophies. But one day they open a grave containing a strange and sinister jade amulet...and once they are in possession of this artefact, terrifying events overtake them.

"The Hound of the Baskervilles is a longer Sherlock mystery, spanning several chapters rather than being contained in a single one like most of Holmes' adventures. And, I quite liked the slower build up and the added mystery than can be achieved with a longer story. The plot itself was a great one, I felt, and it kept me guessing up until the end. All in all, this is probably my favorite Sherlock Holmes that I've read. A really great story!"

    " I had fun re-reading this classic with my son Benjamin, especially after seeing the BBC series SHERLOCK version. It was interesting to analyze Sherlock's methods in light of the book "Mastermind: How to Think Like Sherlock Holmes." I think Watson is under-valued. In this mystery, at least, he does all of the leg work and Holmes swoops in to take the glory! "
