The most terrifying art of the Hound I’ve ever come across.
Longtime fan of the Holmes canon, introduced to it by a ladybird children’s tape and book adaptation (I still have the tape, but not the book) when I was 7 years old, I’m 50 now. I still read The Hound of the Baskervilles at least once a year and the rest of the canon approx every 3-4 years. I’ve seen every film or tv version of HOUN that I can conceivably get hold of and the thing that always bothered me is that the ‘star’ of the book, the Hound, was never scary enough. Some adaptions did better than others, but none have really nailed it the way Conan Doyle wrote it.
This image I found several years ago but I have no idea where it is from, this is my idea of the Hound, something to keep you awake at night, like poor Sir Charles. If someone knows who the artist is or if this is from some adaption please comment.
