Warlock Holmes: The Hell-Hound of the Baskervilles

Re-workings of Arthur Conan Doyles characters continue to be widely popular in books and on television. This is a unique and exciting take on the Sherlock Holmes universe that will appeal to fans of both classic crime and fantasy.

The game's afoot once more as the long-suffering Dr. John Watson and a partially-decomposed Warlock Holmes (though he's getting better) face off against Moriarty's gang, the Pinkertons, flesh-eating horses, a parliament of imps, boredom, Surrey, a succubus, an overly-Canadian aristocrat, a tricycle-fight to the death and the dreaded Pumpcrow. Oh, and a hell-hound, one assumes.

“where else can you find demons battling on tricycles while wearing fake mustaches, yet still be on the edge of your seat wanting to know just how this story is going to end?”  From Girlie to Nerdy
