Anyroads Neil Gaman made the short story available on his website here. It parallels the original Sherlock Holmes story, A Study in Scarlet, where Holmes meets Watson. Obviously Study in Emerald is somewhat different, but if you don't understand it (and you need to be up on your Holmes-mythos more than your Cthulhu) the Wikipedia page explains everything here.
By the way, does anyone think Neil Gaiman looks like David Schwimmer (Ross from Friends). I just don't see it, but my esteemed colleague, Dr. Steve thinks otherwise... you decide...

Yeah man, they look pretty much identical. Surprised you can't see it.
OMG! It's like they're twins!
Separated at birth! Uncanny!
Stuart - you must be blind if you can't see the similarities.
Wow - your chum Steve really has a good eye for spotting obvious likenesses. He sounds like a fab guy.
Ross from Friends is Neil Gaiman - I totally see it now! Yay for steve!
Can't believe you can't see how eerily similar they look. I am on the side of your friend Steve on this one.
Well I was just passing by this blog and noticed the pictures of Gaiman and Schwimmer and feel compelled to agree with your mate Steve - they certainly do look alike. Anyone who would say there was no likeness is palpably wrong.
Hooray for steve. I think you should give him £5.
