About this listen

Colin Salmon and Stephen Fry star in this brand new adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic Sherlock Holmes adventure, The Hound of the Baskervilles, reinterpreted as a dark folk horror by best-selling authors George Mann and Cavan Scott.

An ancient curse has awoken on Dartmoor, the members of the Baskerville family hunted by a spectral hound of Hell. With Sherlock Holmes busy in London, Doctor John Watson is sent to protect the new lord of the manor as fear and superstition run wild in the ancient countryside. Can Watson overcome his own terror to discover the truth behind the legend before the hound strikes again?

I was swept into the world of Holmes and Watson fully with this dramatisation. Stephen Fry is what attracted my attention to listening, but all of the actors and foley artists had me hooked.

Immersive storytelling at its best

Stephen Fry makes everything better! We'll acted by all without being overly overdramatic. Wouldn't classify it as a horror though.

Great listen!

This is one of my favourite Holmes story. The adaptation is pretty decent with a good cast. What I don’t like is how the Holmes and Watson characters are portrayed as extreme versions of themselves. Almost a caricature of the two. Other adaptations have done a better job with drawing out their uniqueness without making either or both unpalatable!
Also didn’t like the addition of the Mother Greep character. Another example of an extreme stereotype.

Don’t like the dumbing down of Dr Watson
