Although I’ve been too busy to pick up a copy of Neil Gaiman’s Fragile Things, a collection of short stories by a modern Edgar Allen Poe, turns out I can read the Hugo Award winning A Study in Emerald without leaving my computer. If you click the link it will take you to a pdf of the story. The file is about 5.10 MB, so it may take a while to load depending on your connection. Don’t be fooled by the newspaper looking layout, that is a nod to the basis for the story, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s A Study in Scarlet, (also downloadable) a Sherlock Holmes mystery that was first serialized in a newspaper. Bibblioaddict has an excellent comparison between the two stories.
