FRIDAY, October 23rd at 7pm: TALES AT THE HOLLOW: "A Study in Emerald" with Willow


 "It is the immensity. I believe. The hugeness of things below. The darkness of dreams."

~ from "A Study in Emerald" by Neil Gaiman

Willow Moonfire presents Gaiman's adventure of murder, monarchy, and things that are not quite what they seem.

There will be a teleport from the main landing point. NOTE: While Isle of Joy is an adult region, none of the content of Haunted Hollow is adult in nature. 

SUNDAY, August 19th at 2pm: A STUDY IN EMERALD & More!


"One night when we were alone, several months ago, I asked my friend if be remembered the correspondence referred to in the letter from the man who signed himself Rache. My friend said that he remembered it well, and that 'Sigerson' (for so the actor had called himself then, claiming to be an Icelander) had been inspired by an equation of my friend's to suggest some wild theories furthering the relationship between mass, energy and the hypothetical speed of light. 'Nonsense, of course,' said my friend, without smiling, 'but inspired and dangerous nonsense nonetheless.'"

We continue our post Virtual Baker Street withdrawal therapy at the hands of a contemporary master, Neil Gaiman.  THIS WEEK: A Study In Emerald.

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.
