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.

Watson
Revisado: 04-16-24
I was initially annoyed that Stephen Fry wasn’t Holmes, as he has narrated Doyle before and had a good tone for both voices. Then I actually listened to it, and Fry was perfect for Watson because of how expressive he is. Literally laughed out loud at parts. The gentleman who narrated Holmes is perfectly cast as well. Good narrators are half the battle with these things so wanted to compliment the casting.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 161
Two weeks before his twenty-first birthday, Las Vegas native Bobby Ingersoll finds out he’s inherited a crushing gambling debt from his scumbag father. The debt is owed to an even scummier bag named Fraser Ruphart who oversees his bottom-rung criminal empire from the classy-adjacent Trump International Hotel. Bobby’s prospects of paying off the note, which comes due the day he turns twenty-one, are about as dim as the sign on the tower’s façade.

Penn is insane & wonderful
Revisado: 11-30-22
My feelings on this book are almost as random as the story. I don’t want to spoil anything, so instead I’ll just list things I liked. The only thing I wish is that it was longer, but a side result of its length is that it doesn’t overstay its welcome.
I liked:
1. If you read or watch a lot of Penn’s material, this book is a clever distillation of a lot of his philosophical ideas from over the years. Not the plot itself, but the sidebars and tangents. In those tangents are real wisdom and they don’t even try to act like fiction.
2. The plot itself is incredibly unique. Let’s be real, Penn could write his grocery list and I’d buy it and read it, because I’m a huge fan of his work, but… when I read the summary, I had no idea how he would pull it off. Somehow he did. It’s cohesive and makes sense.
3. Penn’s narration is wonderful. Dude has made a living being loud and obnoxious for almost 50 years, of course his reading of his book will be top notch.
4. The book is… really, really uncensored and sexy and weird. I wonder how many of the anecdotes in the book come from Penn’s personal life. There’s even some gross out stuff, which is cool.
5. Lastly, the book is funny. Laugh out loud funny. Often in unexpected places. It’s just an extension of how weird the premise is.
I loved it. I don’t know if you’ll love it, because we’re all different and that’s ok, but speaking for myself I thought it was killer.

Singular
Revisado: 01-26-21
I'm not sure how to describe it. Moers just has his own style, that reflects the fact that he is not American. I don't think an American would have written this.
I love his books, and this one is no exception. It's not City of Dreaming Books, which is one of my favorites of all time, but it is still great.
If I had one criticism, it would be that the narrator was not completely consistent with the voices, but I'm not going to tell you where and have you looking for it. Just enjoy the story and let it ride under that small speed bump.
Awesome book!
