About this listen

Sherlock Holmes is an unparalleled genius. Warlock Holmes is an idiot. A font of arcane power, certainly. But he's brilliantly dim. Frankly, he couldn't deduce his way out of a paper bag.

The only thing he has really got going for him are the might of a thousand demons and his stalwart companion. Thankfully, Dr. Watson is always there to aid him through the treacherous shoals of Victorian propriety and save him from a gruesome death every now and again.

What did you like most about Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles?

The geriatric Hell-Hound, the literal-minded demons, the usual shenanigans, the somewhat dim Holmes and as always; Watsons comments. And of course, the landlady.

What other book might you compare Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles to, and why?

Sherlock Holmes, but with demons and a fairly dim-witted Holmes. This is clearly a spoof on Sherlock Holmes, but a lot more entertaining.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

Any scene with Watson annoyed. Also trying to figure out which Sherlock Holmes story is being mangled (with added demons)

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

If you have to, make an anime. A "normal" film can't do this justice.

Any additional comments?

And waiting for the next installment...

Sherlock Holmes will never be the same

Really fun and refreshing. Does not take itself too seriously. A rip roaring romp around Victorian London. Excellent narrator who brings the characters to life.

The game is a foot Whatssssa

I have read the hound of the Baskerville's many times but this was better. Warlock Holmes is a wonderful character, complicated, compassionate and funny. All the characters are excellent, clever versions of their originals, as are the stories and the narrator is perfect.

Better than the original.

I am in love with these books as a Holmes nerd sci fi nerd and general nerd 10 on 10.

Another masterpiece

I love these books. Bit of a spoiler next. When listening to the first book I wondered if it was written by an American. When I heard the inclusion in this audiobook of the hilarious description of a Canadian, I knew it must be written by an American. Genius. So adventurous and funny. I’m glad there’s more books in the series.

Another Winner

Warlock was at it again, with good old Watson at his side keeping him (mostly) alive. I really liked getting to learn more about the making of Warlock Holmes, and his back story was superbly crafted for his character.
This is a truly excellent series so far!

A great series so far!

loved it

fantastic

Great use of the Holmes genres, with this book building on the first. The story gets extended in each episode and the relationship with Moriarty brought through to set up an epic clash. Great narration, it alone had me chuckling at times. Highly recommended.

Very much enjoying the books
