Тази история за чудовищното, светещо в тъмнината куче, донася огромна слава на автора ѝ Артър Конан Дойл. Превърнала се в класически пъзел, който героите му Шерлок Холмс и доктор Уотсън разгадават, тя и до днес стяга гърлото ни, потопим ли се в нея. Призрачната обстановка на Гримпенското тресавище е само част от зловещия декор, където се развива напрегнатото действие. Но зад стряскащия пейзаж се крие нещо още по-страховито - една удивителна пресметливост, готова на всичко, за да засити изкривената си, престъпна природа. Многократно адаптиран за театъра, киното и телевизията, романът Баскервилското куче вече ... |

Въпреки че днес Артър Конан Дойл е известен предимно с историите си за Шерлок Холмс и с фантастичния приключенски роман Изгубеният свят, той също така е написал някои от най-емблематичните страшни разкази, публикувани през XIX и началото на XX век. Част от тях са свръхестествени, а други - психологически, но всичките са разказани така, както може да ги разкаже само майстор на викторианския ужас. В тях шестват класически призраци и души сменят телата си, спиритически сеанси призовават същества от астралната равнина, обсебени предмети тормозят хората, чудовища обитават горните слоеве на атмосферата, серийни убийци ... |
