The narrator isn't that good either, hit and miss when it comes to capturing the characters mood and personality. The story is rushed, Sherlock and Watson have just met yet they act like they are old friends, this storty would have benefited from not twisting the original stories and throwing them aside, instead a independent story should have been written, taking place in the gaps of the original stories, perhaps related to the happenings in them or after, playing of small details of the otiginal stories - perhaps there was a real demon hound in the baskerville case? perhaps it wans't the KKK but instead the Cthulhu cult? As it stands I think better things could come from a Sherlock/Lovecraft mix. The auothor of this tries to write in Doyls style but fails. Watson is made to look like a dimwitted brute in this and Sherlock is significantly dumber and slower than in the original stories. This is nothing but a bad attemt at imitatating the style of the original Sherlock Holmes storys, and mixing them badly with Lovecraftian lore.
