**The hound of the baskervilles**: Never in the delirious dream of a disordered brain could anything more savage, more appalling, more hellish be conceived than that savage face which broke upon us out of the fog.
The Hound of the Baskervilles according to an official of the Criminal Investigation Department is not only the best Sherlock Holmes long story, it is one of the best of all crime novels. It certainly holds the reader in suspense as few murder stories do. Its combination of horror, homicidal villainy, the fogs of remote Dartmoor, the Baskerville Curse a great black beast shaped like a hound, are unforgettable and Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are at their best.
