Drawing inspiration from E. Nesbit’s Man-Size In Marble, Mark Gatiss’ now traditional drawing back of the veil that separates the darkness of the night to that of the enlightenment and spirituality of the Christmas gathering, has once more offered a distinct look for the viewer of what lays hidden in the shadows of our mind, the shortness of breath that hangs icily in the air as we sense the apparition and the shade as they enter our realm and bring together the possibility of a death by nefarious means to our world.
