A Study in Emerald brings together the mythoses created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and H.P. Lovecraft. A brilliant detective and his partner attempt to solve a horrific murder in the Whitechapel slums. They soon find themselves at the Palace, where a Great Old One in the guise of the Queen consults with them about the case.
The award-winning tale appears in Gaiman’s short story collection Fragile Things and New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird, an anthology edited by Paula Guran. The story has also inspired a board game (see “Martin Wallace's 'Study In Emerald' 2E”).
Dark Horse has a few Neil Gaiman releases in store for 2018.
