( Style In Fiction: A Linguistic Introduction to English Fictional Prose by Geoffrey N. Leech and Michael H. Short, The Vor Game by Lois McMaster Bujold, Judge by Karen Traviss, Merchanter's Luck by C J Cherryh, A Shadow in Summer by Daniel Abraham, The Power of Three by Diana Wynne Jones )

Fannishly, I can recommend Masked Ball, by Waid, which is ACD-canon Sherlock Holmes (30,000 words). It's a Holmes/Watson fic, but almost more importantly, it's a beautifully written casefic. I don't want to spoil you for it, or I'd say more.

I've also listened to the first episode of this Welcome to Night Vale podcast everyone is talking about. I liked it, and will listen to more!
