Hound of the Baskervilles: An Erotic Tale by Adam McOmber
Readers of weird fiction will enjoy this erotic and subversive reimagining of one of literature’s most thrilling tales, Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles. Dr. Watson arrives alone on the moors of the Baskerville estate to help solve the mystery of its scion’s grim death and the murder’s connection to the spectral hound that plagues the ancestral home. Watson’s understanding of his own history and queer desires is sorely tested when he discovers Baskerville Hall is rife with stimulation and horror. As this supernatural mystery unfolds and reality begins to bend and break, he must work against the clock to discover the truth and prevent whatever beast roams the grounds from claiming future victims.
“McOmber’s haunting variation on the Holmes-Watson mythos is a dark, unsettling rumination on queer desire. Unabashedly homoerotic and steeped in Folk Horror.” — Craig Laurance Gidney, author of A Spectral Hue and The Nectar of Nightmares
