Flist! You have failed me. Neil Gaiman has a new book out and no one told me. It's a book of short stories, and it's called Fragile Things.
You can read one of them online, A Study In Emerald. Apparently this won the Hugo Award in 2004, so a few of you might have read it already, but everyone who hasn't? Go right now. It is unbelievably good. Sherlocke Holmes meets Lovecraft, and yet it totally makes sense. I'm particularly fond of it because I've been reading the Sherlocke Holmes books recently, and the parallels between the first story and this one are amazing; I love how it's almost the same and yet completely different.
Also, man, look at that dialouge at the end of the first part. It reads like something out of a Saiyuki reinc fic; Gaiman is totally a Holmes/Watson shipper.
