About This Audiobook
In Professor Moriarty: The Hound of the D'Urbervilles, Kim Newman reimagines the sinister Professor Moriarty as an anti-hero of sorts, a chess player who sees the game of life as a far more complex and deadly proposition than Sherlock Holmes' elementary deductions. The twisted narrative is a sly blend of Gothic horror, atmospheric mystery, and philosophical introspection, set against the fog-shrouded backdrop of late 19th-century London. Throughout the story, Newman cleverly subverts expectations by turning Colonel Sebastian Basher Moran, Moriarty's henchman, into a more nuanced and sympathetic character. Tom Hodgkins' masterful narration brings the tale to life with an unsettling intensity, his measured pace perfectly capturing the dark, introspective mood of Newman's prose. With its unique blend of intellectual curiosity and gruesome violence, this audiobook is an absolute must-listen for fans of Gothic horror and atmospheric mysteries.
