Synopsis

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

The result is a quirky, comic account that moves between spectral hounds, consulting detectives, panic attacks and an excess of cats, while also reflecting on childhood, a troubled father, and the effort to stay calm as the world darkens. Told through an eclectic mix of tweets, poems, songs, mock screen extracts, lyrics, stage-play fragments and extensive footnotes, it is suited to readers who enjoy offbeat memoir and Sherlock Holmes-inspired cultural deep dives.
