Download a free copy of Neil Gaiman reading his short story, “A Study in Emerald,” from audible.com. The 49 minute download is available in several formats, including MP3.
According to the publisher’s summary:
“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.”
Update (11/21/09): The direct link to the audio book offer is broken. We’ve change the link to a generic link to audible.com. Use the search function to find the download, which is still free.
