"I think my wife might be right. I am going slightly mad." Hounded is a quirky and humorous memoir by Vince Stadon, capturing his experiences during the pandemic of 2020 and into spring 2021. As he navigates the anxiety of approaching fifty, he immerses himself in every adaptation of The Hound of the Baskervilles, including films, TV shows, and games. This bewildered middle-aged man's journey becomes a silly odyssey through his obsession with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's iconic tale. Amidst a darkening world, Vince undertakes a marathon of the famous Sherlock Holmes story, making deductions, adopting disguises, and even sending anonymous letters warning of the moor. He tracks the spectral hound across the melancholy landscape during ominous hours, all while reflecting on his childhood, grappling with his troubled father, and managing chronic anxiety. Written in a playful style that includes tweets, poems, songs, and irreverent footnotes, Hounded offers a unique blend of humor and introspection. It stands out as the funniest exploration of a ghostly hound that has haunted a man throughout his life, providing both laughter and insight during challenging times.
