Book description
Kim Newman's Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles is a deliciously dark reimagining that flips the Sherlock Holmes mythos on its head, placing the sinister professor and his brutish accomplice, Colonel Moran, at the heart of a twisted Victorian London. Newman, a master of genre-blending fiction, doesn't just tell a story-he conducts an orchestra of shadows, weaving together the familiar threads of detective fiction with the macabre sensibilities of horror and the sharp bite of satire.
This audiobook pulls you into a world where law and crime are indistinguishable, narrated with a sly, knowing tone that feels like a velvet-gloved fist. Moriarty isn't just evil-he's charming, calculating, and utterly magnetic, while Moran growls through scenes like a rabid dog in a three-piece suit. Their game isn't justice; it's control. And every whispered scheme, every backroom deal, crackles with menace.
Newman's ear for voice and atmosphere shines in audio format, where the slippery cadence of Moriarty's mind and the thuggish bluster of Moran come alive through performance. The plot, a spiraling descent into aristocratic decay and supernatural dread, feels both fresh and nostalgically familiar-like stumbling upon a secret chapter of Conan Doyle's original tales that was never meant to see the light.
Fans of Anno Dracula or Newman's other genre-bending works will recognize his fingerprints: layers of literary mischief, winking references, and a narrative that never quite lets you settle into safety. The Hound of the D'Urbervilles isn't just an audiobook-it's a descent into a beautifully crafted abyss, narrated by the devil himself.
