However, at one point, the author believed that Holmes was distracting him and taking his 'mind from better things'. He killed Holmes in The Final Problem, but after public outcry over it, revived the legendary detective in The Hound of the Baskervilles. Serialized in The Strand Magazine (August 1901-April 1902), the story is a haunting thriller that pits the rational against the supernatural. The death of an aristocrat which points to an old family curse, giant footprints of an unearthly glowing hound, and the curse looming over a young descendant are elements that create the inimitable ambience of horror in the story.   The surroundings of Dartmoor in South Devon, a county in Southern England, is the main stage for the action of the novel and a perfect setting for a murder plot. The treacherous moor and the brooding and bleak Dartmoor prison adds to the element of horror, making the novel an edge-of-the-seat thriller. The novel was possibly a result of Conan Doyle's meeting with a journalist, Bertram Fletcher Robinson, aboard a ship on his way back to England from Africa. Robinson told Doyle about the legend of a ghostly hound. He also took Doyle to some deserted English moors and prehistoric ruins. Robinson also told him captivating local legends about escaped prisoners and an aristocrat, who had come to harm from his family dog. All these might have inspired Doyle to create The Hound of the Baskervilles.   The story was published in the last year of the Victorian era. Although the setting and means of communication were very different from what they are today, Holmes's method of bringing the guilty to law and the author's skill in creating spine-chilling horror are what make the story enjoyable and popular even today.
