A family curse. A desolate moor. An unexplained death. A monstrous dog. Arguably one of the most famous short stories of all time, The Hound of the Baskervilles is the third of four novellas about the great detective, and the first story Doyle wrote after Holmes’s (spoilers!) apparent demise in “The Final Problem.” It all comes together into a spine-tingling mystery that Watson's writing turns into a horror tale.

We discuss Watson's turn as a Gothic heroine, the genre-hopping joy of Hound, Dracula Daily, and how Sir Henry should have ended up with Beryl at the end of this one, actually.

Content warning: Racism, death, British preoccupation with bloodlines - and some animals meet some nasty ends in this story. Sorry - the dog dies in this one.

Spoiler alert: We talk extensively about what happens in "The Final Problem" and "The Empty House."
