I’ve spoken about this before, but I just wanted everyone to be sure they understand.
Neil Gaiman is a god.
I just finished Stardust. I know, I know. It’s been out for awhile and there is a movie. Normally when a movie is based on a book I’ve read the book before I see the movie and I end up hating the poor adaptation. Books are just better. But this time I refrained from reading the book until I’d seen the movie. A few things have kept me busy and I’ve not had a chance to read the book until now. I loved it. Not my favorite Gaiman, but really quite wonderful.
One of the best Gaiman works is A Study In Emerald. It’s a cross between Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft. Literally. It’s a Sherlock Holmes story set in a world in which “The Old Ones” are awake and among us.
You can read or listen to it for free, but it’s a part of Fragile Things and if you like this story, you should buy the book. Then buy all his books. You’ll love them.
