The Hound of the Baskervilles
by Arthur Conan Doyle
Perhaps the most popular of all the sherlock holmes stories, "The Hound of the Baskervilles" combines traditional detective with horror elements. When Charles Baskerville finds himself dead in the wild swamp of Devon with the tracks of a giant hound, the blame falls on the family curse – and it is Holmes and Watson who must solve the mystery of the legend. Rationalism confronts the supernatural and good versus evil, just as Sherlock Holmes tried to defeat an enemy almost equal to him.
