Synopsis

Written during the 2020 pandemic and into spring 2021, this book follows Stadon’s attempt to navigate the anxiety of reaching a half-century while immersing himself in an all-consuming project: experiencing every version he can find of The Hound of the Baskervilles, across film, television, audio drama, spoken word, documentary, stage play, pastiche, graphic novel, animation, children’s cartoons and PC games.

The result is a quirky, funny account that moves between spectral hounds, consulting detectives, panic attacks and far too many cats, as he undertakes a marathon through Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s celebrated novel. Told through an eclectic mix of tweets, poems, songs, mock film extracts, prog rock lyrics, deliberately silly stage plays and an irreverent quantity of footnotes, it also reflects on childhood, a troubled father and the effort to stay calm during a pandemic.
