I have been reading Neil Gaiman's work for a few years now, and I feel like I've been through the wringer at his hands. When I first listened to him reading one of his own works, I was thrilled. I assume he reads his works as he imagined them when he wrote them, and listening is a quick way for the fans to satisfy a little hero-worship.
His performance is usually much like you might remember storytellers from your childhood - creepy in the right bits, childlike in others...
This essay has been up on his website for a while now and has been visited once every few months by me in that time. I was very happy to find this and would recommend it to those of you already familiar with his work.

Wish I had known I had it already in another book before wasting a purchase. I like the story and performance very much however.

If there is a better way to spend an hour, I haven't found it yet. Recommended for anyone who likes mysteries, Lovecraft, alternate history, or a great short-story.

This excellent short story will be lost on the rare individual who isn’t passingly familiar with the world and actors in the Sherlock Holmes cannon. A familiarity with Lovecraft’s fiction is also helpful but not strictly needed. The atmosphere is well constructed and never cluttered with needless sentimentality or distracting gore. On point and love the subtle and satisfying ending. Delighted to the end.

Lots of homage to the Holmes canon. The alternative reality was a bit difficult to pick up on; perhaps another listen would be worthwhile. Very enjoyable narration that enhances the prose and dialogue.

If you are collecting all of Neil Gaiman's audiobooks like me, this one won't disappoint! His performace is brilliant as usual and his voice is perfect for Sherlock Holmes! Wishing he would do more like this one.

I'm a fan of Sherlock Holmes stories but not this.
The best that I can say about this story is: "it is (mercifully) short". Let's hope that Mr Gaiman never revisits it. It was only after purchasing this audiobook I discovered that the PDF is freely available. I should have skimmed the PDF and saved the money.
This story is only for die-hard Neil Gaiman fans.

Typical Gaiman short stories. I found it an enjoyable read. He is a master storyteller. I liked the twist on Sherlock Holmes.

one of my favorites stories Neil has written and read, always a pleasure to experience

Wow, loved this story & Neil Gaiman is the best narrator! I totally enjoyed this story.
Surprise ending!
