A fiendish evil lurks amid the mist and loneliness of Devon’s fabled Dartmoor. In the form of a hellish hound, it feeds upon the trembling flesh of the heirs of Baskerville Hall.

But before this savage beast can sink its teeth into the newest lord of the manor, it must pit its vicious fangs against the searing intellect of the most powerful foe it has ever encountered – the incomparable Sherlock Holmes.

This is a great graphic novel adaptation of one of my favourite Sherlock Holmes stories. It has the right atmosphere and gets the characters right. I liked the way it was drawn and it drew me in enough that i was pretty much able to read it in one setting. I had read it before, but this time I was reading it for my participation in the #savvyreadathon.

What can I say?  Hound of the Baskervilles is a classic and might possibly be the best of the Holmes stories.  Perfectly crafted, and perfectly atmospheric, this is the kind of story that can be read again and again.   In fact, this is at least my third read and on this go-around I was much more able to admire the subtle clues and hints Conan Doyle wove through the tale.  Although I do have one question:  Dr. Mortimer's wife is mentioned several times in the story and I have to wonder how she felt about him traipsing off around the world without her?   If you like gothic, or mysteries, or just a good atmospheric thriller, you can't go wrong with this one.
