Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles

The game's afoot once more as Holmes and Watson face off against Moriarty's gang, the Pinkertons, flesh-eating horses, a parliament of imps, boredom, Surrey, a disappointing butler demon, a succubus, a wicked lord, an overly-Canadian lord, a tricycle-fight to the death and the dreaded Pumpcrow.

Re-workings of Arthur Conan Doyle's characters continue to be widely popular in books and on television. This is a unique and exciting take on the Sherlock Holmes universe that will appeal to fans of both classic crime and fantasy. The plot cleverly combines Sherlockian themes with comedic fantasy - the author has a background in improv and has performed with Ryan Stiles and Wayne Brady of Whose Line Is It Anyway?. A brand new and thoroughly original addition to the growing and popular Titan range of Sherlock titles. It sits alongside Titan's Further Adventures, New Adventures, Cthulhu Casebooks and Encounters anthology series. G.S. Denning has previously been published by popular games company 'Wizards of the Coast' and has written a video-game script for Nintendo.
