The Monstrous Menagerie (audio story): Difference between revisions

Jago and Litefoot are on the run! Framed for a crime they didn't commit, the infernal investigators seek refuge in a house on Baker Street owned by their old friend, Professor Dark.

That's when Doctor Arthur Conan Doyle enters their lives. Tired of his popular creation Sherlock Holmes, Doyle has moved onto other works that he considers more worthy.

And then Laura Lyons comes knocking at the door...

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]

This story was recorded on 18 and 20 December 2012, 7 March and 16 April 2013.
Many plot elements are derived from Arthur Conan Doyle's works.
- Both Laura Lyons and Roger Baskerville are characters from The Hound of the Baskervilles. Just like 'real' Roger Baskerville, Roger Baskerville in The Hound of the Baskervilles is an antagonist.
- Professor Presbury, the leader of expedition, is a character from Conan Doyle's The Adventure of the Creeping Man.
- Conan Doyle says he'd write an adventure story about dinosaurs and a professor. This is a reference to The Lost World, which introduces Professor Challenger. In The Lost World, Professor Challenger encounters Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, and Pterodactyl.
