Arthur Conan Doyle 
The Hound of the Baskervilles 

The story of the Baskerville family’s curse is, 'In front of Hugo’s corpse, a black monster that looked like a four cold dog was biting Hugo’s uvula. It was an incredibly large figure I had never seen before. As the gang stared at Hugo’s torn neck, the dog turned his flaming eyes and blood dripping face toward them.’
