any thoughts on this fantastic neil gaiman short story ? i personally would like to see a lot more lovecraft/holmes cross overs. Gaiman was allegedly quite surprised how well it worked and will hopefully continue with more.

Just read this a couple of weeks ago - my first Neil Gaiman short story (only read some Sandman up to this point). I was very impressed with this - I loved the Cthulu Victorian London they created and the investigation itself. Also there was that rather clever ending too. I'd definitely read more of this.

I'm a Lovecraft nut and a Holmes nut, so this is one of my favourite short stories.
