The Hound of the Baskervilles (illustrated) by Arthur Conan Doyle Pdf
Although it is not the most traditional, The Hound of the Baskervilles is by many accounts the greatest entry in the tales of Sherlock Holmes. The novel is set on the desolate moors of West Country, England, with the lonely manor homes, old legends about ghostly creatures, dark family lore, and of course a mystery that only Holmes can unravel. The Hound of the Baskervilles may be Doyle's most perfect blend of mystery, the supernatural, and adventure, making it one of the best detective stories ever written. Dr. James Mortimer comes to consult Holmes after his friend, Sir Charles Baskerville, was found dead. Although there was no direct evidence of foul play, the expression of intense horror on Baskerville's face and the enormous hound prints surrounding the body make Mortimer suspicious of evil doings. Mortimer relates to Holmes the story of a gigantic hound that has plagued the Baskerville family ever since one of their ancestors had abducted a farm girl only to be killed by such a hound in supernatural retribution. Although Holmes dismisses the ghostly hound as nonsense, Watson and Holmes take the case, venturing out to the Baskerville manor to uncover the real story of the Baskerville's death and the eponymous hound.Doyle was already quite famous when he wrote The Hound of the Baskervilles, the third of his four novels featuring Sherlock Holmes, along with over 50 short stories. The story is set out of order from the normal Holmes canon, written after the first "death" of the great detective, but set beforehand. Arthur Conan Doyle had taken an eight-year vacation from writing about Holmes, but clearly from this fantastic story, he had lost none of his famously dynamic storytelling. Doyle had always been somewhat ambivalent towards his most famous creation, ultimately killing him off not once, but twice in his literary career. He preferred to use his time writing historical novels, considered much higher style at the time. Despite the author's hesitation, Holmes's readership was enamored at once and has stayed so to the present day. We can thank Doyle's contemporary fans for Holmes's return in this masterful tale of mystery and suspense.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon Pdf
A bestselling modern classic—both poignant and funny—narrated by a fifteen year old autistic savant obsessed with Sherlock Holmes, this dazzling novel weaves together an old-fashioned mystery, a contemporary coming-of-age story, and a fascinating excursion into a mind incapable of processing emotions. Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, Christopher is autistic. Everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning for him. At fifteen, Christopher’s carefully constructed world falls apart when he finds his neighbour’s dog Wellington impaled on a garden fork, and he is initially blamed for the killing. Christopher decides that he will track down the real killer, and turns to his favourite fictional character, the impeccably logical Sherlock Holmes, for inspiration. But the investigation leads him down some unexpected paths and ultimately brings him face to face with the dissolution of his parents’ marriage. As Christopher tries to deal with the crisis within his own family, the narrative draws readers into the workings of Christopher’s mind. And herein lies the key to the brilliance of Mark Haddon’s choice of narrator: The most wrenching of emotional moments are chronicled by a boy who cannot fathom emotions. The effect is dazzling, making for one of the freshest debut in years: a comedy, a tearjerker, a mystery story, a novel of exceptional literary merit that is great fun to read.
Hounds of the Baskervilles. from Demon Dogs to Sherlock Holmes: The True Story of the Beast! by Arthur Conan Doyle,Nick Redfern,Andrew Gable Pdf
PICKS UP WHERE SHERLOCK HOLMES' LEFT OFF. . . DEVIL HOUNDS. DEMON DOGS. PHANTOM CANINES FROM HELL. THEY DO EXIST! One nearly scared to death eyewitness proclaimed after the beast loomed in front of him: "It was the biggest bloody 'dog' I have ever seen in my life!" Legends of black dogs and phantom hounds are widespread throughout the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. Though presented in novelized form, Sherlock Holmes creator Sir Arthur Conan Doyle based his most popular detective thriller on true accounts of a mysterious black beast with blazing red eyes who is said to have attacked those crossing the moors. Some were lucky to have gotten away with their lives. Perhaps there are others who disappeared and their bodies were not accounted for. Who can say for certain? In addition to presenting the number one classic detective thriller of all time in its unabridged, fully illustrated, form, this work goes way beyond the boundaries of fiction into the realm of the supernatural. Today's top paranormal researcher's delve into stories of the bloody beast who comes in various sizes and apparently even has the ability to shape shift into a more hideous creature when cornered. As England's leading cryptozoologist, Nick Redfern, points out, "There is one important factor to remember: Conan Doyle did not invent Britain's phantom, fiery-eyed hounds. He merely brought them to the attention of the public in spectacularly entertaining style. In reality, the creature had been prowling around the British countryside for centuries; and particularly so Dartmoor - the fictional home of the world's most famous hound of horror in all its awful glory." According to Redfern the same area the imaginary Sherlock Holmes conducted his investigation around, is also, in reality, rife with ancient tales and legends of a group of diabolical and unholy creatures known as the Wisht Hounds - fearsome devil-dogs with glowing eyes and large fangs. "They are said to have a taste for both human flesh and human souls, and ride with the Devil himself, as he crosses the windswept wilds of Dartmoor late at night - and atop a headless, black horse, no less." According to legend, the Wisht Hounds inhabit the nearby Wistman's Woods - a sacred grove where, in centuries past, ancient druids held pagan rituals in honor of a veritable multitude of old Earth gods and goddesses. Here are dozens of accounts of devilish, gruesome, repugnant "monsters" - some of whom stand eight feet tall - who are said to be Satan's watch dogs protecting the portals to another dimension or realm where no mortal should be made to tread!
