Hound of the Baskervilles: An Erotic Tale
Description
Acclaimed author Adam McOmber offers readers an erotic and subversive reimagining of one of literature's most thrilling tales, Arthur Conan Doyle's The Hound of the Baskervilles. Dr. Watson arrives alone on the moors of the Baskerville estate to help solve the mystery of its scion's grim death and the murder's connection to the spectral hound that plagues the ancestral home. Watson's understanding of his own history and queer desires is sorely tested when he discovers Baskerville Hall is rife with stimulation and horror. As this supernatural mystery unfolds and reality begins to bend and break, he must work against the clock to discover the truth and prevent whatever beast roams the grounds from claiming future victims.

Reviews
"A haunted dreamscape of gothic imagery and erotic encounters. The reader will be left stunned, aroused, and more likely than not, a newly entranced fan of McOmber's chimerical pen." - Tom Cardamone, Lambda Literary Award-winning author
"At once decadently gothic and refreshingly modern, Hound of the Baskervilles offers a moving reimagining of the Holmes/Watson relationship. Every page is alive with murky vitality; McOmber moves us from scene to candle-lit scene, where redemption - or annihilation - is only a lover's breath away. Shadows fawn and fornicate in the spaces between the lines of McOmber's exquisite prose. Monsters of delirious creativity take the plot in startling new directions, and we follow Watson through a macabre trail of murders to an ending as shocking as it is poetic - and where the boundaries between man and beast blur. The final chapters are a fever dream of priapic vision: presenting cosmic horror - and beauty - in Wildean excess." - Phoenix Alexander, the Jay Kay Klein and Doris Klein Librarian for Science Fiction and Fantasy, UC Riverside
"McOmber's haunting variation on the Holmes-Watson mythos is a dark, unsettling rumination on queer desire. Unabashedly homoerotic, and steeped in folk horror." - Craig Laurance Gidney, author of A Spectral Hue and The Nectar of Nightmares
"A fascinating portrait...the unexpected twists are sure to keep readers hooked. Holmes fans...will enjoy this supernatural mystery." -
