The story is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche transferred to the
Cthulhu Mythos universe of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft. It won the 2004 Hugo
Award for Best Short Story. The title is a reference to the Sherlock Holmes
novel A Study in Scarlet. "A Study in Emerald" first appeared in the
anthology Shadows Over Baker Street, a collection of stories combining the
worlds of Arthur Conan Doyle and H. P. Lovecraft; it has subsequently been
available as part of Gaiman's short story collection Fragile Things, in the
collection New Cthulhu: The Recent Weird, and is available online. The online
version takes the form of a Victorian periodical or newspaper, which includes
various advertisements that reference characters such as Vlad Tepes, Victor
Frankenstein, Spring Heeled Jack, and Dr. Jekyll.
