Book Ninja interview with Guy Gavriel Kay

SFFaudio Online Audio

Book Ninja MagazineTwo Guys talking… Book Ninja Magazine has a downloadable interview that allows you to listen to Christine Fischer Guy talking to Guy Gavriel Kay |MP3|. This is one of those literary literature interviews about literate literary writers. Analysis, method, influence, structure, style – in other words, everything but the street-level story idea. I’d have been enthralled if I knew what the subject was. Where o where are those down and dirty attention grabbing ideas? Can anyone tell what the hell Yasabel, Kay’s new book, is about? It’s a modern fantasy, but I didn’t learn that from the interview.

SFFaudio Online Audio

A wonderful gift from Harper Audio! A FREE Hugo Award winning (2004) Neil Gaiman short story, A Study In Emerald, it comes from Neil Gaiman’s collection entitled Fragile Things…

Fantasy audiobook - short story - A Study In Scarlet by Neil GaimanA Study in Emerald
By Neil Gaiman; Read by Neil Gaiman
1 |MP3| – Approx. 49 Minutes [UNABRIDGED]
Publisher: Harper Audio
Published: November 2007
Alluding to both the Sherlock Holmes canon and the Old Ones of the Cthulhu Mythos, this Hugo Award winning short story will delight fans of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, H.P. Lovecraft, and of course, Neil Gaiman. A Study in Emerald draws listeners in through carefully revealed details as a consulting detective and his narrator friend solve the mystery of a murdered German noble. But with its subtle allusions and surprise ending, this mystery hints that the real fun in solving this case lies in imagining all the details that Gaiman doesn’t reveal, and challenges listeners to be detectives themselves.
