Had seen the movie, but never had read it.
I recommend it if you are a fan of classical detective stories, or even like a little scare in your stories.
I enjoyed the book, the characters, and scenery.

Sherlock Holmes has so thoroughly permeated the literary and pop-culture worlds that it's possible to be very familiar with the fictional man, the stories dedicated to him, and the tropes ascribed to him without ever having read one of his actual stories. And for a long time I was one of those people -- I knew plenty about Sherlock and even knew the basics of the plot to "Hound of the Baskervilles" (thanks, Wishbone), but had never actually read a Holmes story. "Hound of the Baskervilles" is my first Sherlock Holmes story, and while I already knew the basics of the plot, it was nice to read the original, and it was nicely suspenseful and full of twists.
When Sir Charles Baskerville is found dead on the moors near his estate, it's assumed he died of a heart attack. But the esteemed detective Sherlock Holmes suspects foul play, and so when Baskerville's nephew goes to claim the estate as the last surviving heir, Holmes sends his assistant Watson to accompany him and gather clues. Watson dutifully records the goings-on and the intrigues surrounding the estate and the surrounding farms and moors... but it will fall on Holmes to finally piece together the mystery. And when a dark legend surrounding the Baskervilles -- a legend concerning a demonic hound -- rears its ugly head once again, it remains to be seen if the famed detective can stop the legend from claiming another life...
Surprisingly, Sherlock Holmes is absent for a good chunk of this book. But Watson is a surprisingly likable protagonist, an everyman who may lack Holmes' brilliant mind but is still analytical enough to pick up clues, and who has a sense of empathy and kindness that Holmes can occasionally lack. And there's a surprisingly eclectic and fun cast of characters to be had in this story, from the hapless American transplant trying to get settled in a dreary English estate to the servants with their own dark secrets to the doctor with an eccentric obsession with skulls.
While I was familiar with this story going in (not surprising, as it's one of the most famous Holmes stories), it still managed to be a nicely chilling and suspenseful read. The writing style can feel a little antiquated compared to a lot of modern writing, especially thrillers, but it still manages to hold a lot of suspense and creeping horror, as well as some genuinely witty and humorous moments to lighten the mood as necessary.
The Sherlock Holmes stories have managed to stand the test of time, and for good reason. Hound of the Baskervilles is still a creepy and enjoyable read decades after it was first written, and is a great mystery story with a dash of possibly-supernatural elements to liven it up.

Has been my favorite Sherlock Holmes story for the longest time. It is a spooky whodunit, and those remain my favorite to day.
That being said I will mention for those new to this story. That it was first published in 1902 and does have 2 instances of describing two peoples racial demographic in ways that are no longer socially acceptable in 2023. However, wrong today and wholeheartedly I agree they are wrong. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle had passed away long before these social standards changed. Sherlock Holmes is one of the best mystery genres series in spite of this blemish our more intelligent era must put on it.
As for the story of a supernatural curse that befall generations of the Baskerville family and the superstitious beliefs of a isolated community. It is especially spine tingling and could inspire one to sleep with the lights on. For those reasons alone. I would highly recommend it to others.

Amazon lumps everything together, so you see reviews about the book rather than the Stephen Fry CD reading.
Fry does a very good job, and seldom mixes his accents when speaking in the American accent of Henry Baskerville and then switching back to Dr. Watson.
One thing about all these Fry cds is that whether MP3 or regular cds the track listings is a bit weak.
