The Hound of the Baskervilles was written by Arthur Conan Doyle in 1902 and is one of his most frightening books. It tells the story of the curse of the Baskerville family - a family haunted by a terrifying hound on Dartmoor. The beast is thought to be responsible for killing many members of the Baskerville family. Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson arrive to investigate.
