    comparing The Murders in Rue the Morgue, a short story by Poe, and The Hound of the Baskervilles, a novel by Doyle, this influence becomes increasingly apparent. It is from that point that the two texts take different paths; it is possible to see two separate stories. They are not carbon copies.
