Resumen del Editor

Alluding to both the Sherlock Holmes canon and the Old Ones of the Cthulhu Mythos, this Hugo Award-winning short story will delight fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H. P. Lovecraft, and of course, Neil Gaiman.

A Study in Emerald draws listeners in through carefully revealed details as a consulting detective and his narrator friend solve the mystery of a murdered German noble. But with its subtle allusions and surprise ending, this mystery hints that the real fun in solving this case lies in imagining all the details that Gaiman doesn't reveal, and challenges listeners to be detectives themselves.

Excellent

I enjoyed this short story being it does have a twist of relationship to sherlock Holmes and the characters both played out well. this mystery is great, leaving me wanting more.

What a jewel!

I did not know anything about the author, and I was doubtful if I would like this story, but it was free! It was breaking two of my rules, first the author was reading the story, and he was English, which general meant I would not be able to understand him easily and the second, my sacred love of Sherlock Holmes: do not even think of improving on this character's presences in my mind!

The author was just amazing! Proving to me my two rules to be ridiculous and left me wanting more! I have not purchased anymore of his works, but that is just because I want them all and have not figured out where to start yet. However, start I surely will.

Sherlock with a twist

I really enjoyed this. It was very faithful with the original Sherlock Holmes story. But, the twist really enhances it. I loved all the detail. I would love to hear more stories in this vein from Neil Gaiman.

Sherlock Holmes crossover with a dash of Cthulhu

Sherlock Holmes mystery with a dash of Cthulhu and a twist of lime- I mean plot. As ever, Neil Gaiman adds further dimension and character to his stories by providing his own narration.

A favorite

I have been reading Neil Gaiman's work for a few years now, and I feel like I've been through the wringer at his hands. When I first listened to him reading one of his own works, I was thrilled. I assume he reads his works as he imagined them when he wrote them, and listening is a quick way for the fans to satisfy a little hero-worship.
His performance is usually much like you might remember storytellers from your childhood - creepy in the right bits, childlike in others...
This essay has been up on his website for a while now and has been visited once every few months by me in that time. I was very happy to find this and would recommend it to those of you already familiar with his work.

A nice twist

Typical Neil Gaiman Fare. A wonderful short story that puts a nice twist on Sherlock Holmes. The purist may not appreciate this. I would however recommend the story for anyone else that likes Holmes and does not mind an alternate point of view.

World Class Genre Mashup w a twist

My favorite short story. Lovecraft meets Conan Doyle meets Wells meets Shyamalan through the Looking glass of Gaiman...

Exactly what you'd expect

Neil Gaiman + Sherlock Holmes + Cthulu Mythos

You can't go wrong with one of these things. All three are superb.

Perfection

As usual, Gaiman delivers perfection in narration and story both! An absolute delight and delicate horror….
